Get Ready Comics have been Extreme Robots partners since 2023 and not only do they have the best giveaway goody bags in town (if you know, you know!) Paul, their head honcho is a fascinating person who, as well as a huge amount of charity work, is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to Comic Books, Superheroes and all things nerdy... combine that with our host Chris Wilkins and there's a lot of content!

This week’s ReActivate guest knows a thing or 2 about Robot Combat, and in particular, Robot Wars! Chris & Glen are delighted to welcome Andy Collins from BBC Three Counties Radio to the Podcast. The BBC Morning Show has had Andy as its’ lynchpin for the past 5 years, but alongside radio Andy has been a multi-pronged presenter, and studio host for Saturday Night Take Away, Britain’s Got Talent, Masked Singer, Jonathan Ross, and, of course... Robot Wars!
We’ll be chatting to Andy about the filming of the show, the backstage gossip and the most important part... his favourite robots from the original series’ and how they line up against the new breed of Extreme Robots!

Chris and Glen take a look back at the incredible 2023 Extreme Robots UK Tour and look ahead to what is coming in 2024 on the 23rd Extreme Robots UK Tour!

In between the barbed remarks about each others' football teams it's the return to ReActivate of the Professor of Extreme Robots Jamie Davies as he joins Glen & Chris to discuss the Extreme Robots Summer Transfer Window! Ignore Glen's slightly blocked sinuses (better Noise Reduction needed) and delve into what Robots the teams need to bring in take home the crown of Extreme Robots Champion in 2023, and who knows, there may even be a transfer request answered live!
