Welcome to our brand new podcast, Ragbag Presents. Here's an introduction to what it's all about.Brollywood blurb: After losing his home, then accidentally burning down another one, Frank is reunited with his former cellmate, Noddy. Noddy, despite evidence to the contrary, is still alive, and is very concerned about the disappearance of a set of plans to steal millions of pounds from a mysterious group of British film stars. Brollywood lifts the lid on the ultimate underground society, the greatest con-trick of all time, and the best-kept secret in showbusiness. It’s a story about love and friendship, as well as a handy guidebook on how to pull off a bank heist during a global pandemic. Frank’s website: www.frankburton.co.ukFrank’s email: fjb79@hotmail.comI Like The Sound podcast: https://shows.acast.com/i-like-the-soundFollow us on Twitter & Instagram @RagbagPresents  Hosted on Acast.
