This week was JAM-PACKED with our usual shocks, surprises and silliness as we wave goodbye to the Jam Boy, James Robinson, in his final week on the show. From a surprise visit from Anthea Turner, to abandoning him in the studio and one last appearance from McWobinson!

We even had a few guest appearances too… Fred Sirieix came to see us, chatting about the brand new series of First Dates Beach Club.

Rob Beckett also swung by the Radio X studio as Rob VS Romesh is back for series eight and Rob Beckett joined us in the studio to tell us all about it! Including all the truly bizarre, slightly painful, and questionably legal things they’ve put themselves through for TV.

Plus, because we love to overdeliver…

1. Dom’s spare gifts
2. James’ last ever Boffin Booth
3. American voice over impressions

Enjoy!

Would you like a frothy bevvy?

Welcome to The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X podcast, you legends! James was off this week and Dom was full of cold and put in quarantine, broadcasting from a separate studio, but that won’t stop us cobbling together the usual fun! 

We had Jack Whitehall in to talk about his appearance in brand new series Malice, a distasteful psychological thriller where he plays an unlikely villain. He discusses what it was like being involved in a project different to his usual work.

James May was on to chat about his brand new show ‘James May’s Shed Load of Ideas’ where he creates some intriguing inventions that help with everyday conundrums. He also posed some interesting musings on what humanity might look like if women didn’t exist.

Clint Boon joined the team in the studio, ahead of Inspiral Carpets UK and Ireland tour which kicks off later this month. He also spoke on the history behind the band’s iconic cow t-shirts and how their sales propped the band up in their early years!

Finally, Al Murray joined us on air to wrap up the week chatting all things podcasting as ‘Spitting Image’ returns, and the return of The Pub Landlord for an upcoming standup tour!

And if that’s not enough…

• Ronaldo shouting in the news
• Chris Axl Rose impression

Go and vote for Po-ol-ly

What a guest bonanza it was this week! We had five guests come in this week to chat about all kinds of things from making Stephen Hawking laugh, to being on the Traitors, to y’know… being the England football manager.

That’s right, Gareth Southgate was in to talk about his new book Dear England: Lessons in Leadership. He gave us some insights into what his career really looked like behind the scenes, from being a young inexperienced manager at Middlesbrough F.C., to facing the pressure of taking England to the finals.

We also had Kate Garraway in the studio chatting about all things Celebrity Traitors. She spoke about how much trickier it was actually being on compared to being a fan and watching the show at home. She also spoke on how helpful it was for her mentally, being able to throw herself fully into the show after going through such challenging times recently.

Friend of the show, Alex James from Blur was also in to chat about his upcoming slew of dates for his incredible Britpop Classical. Russell Howard also spoke about his upcoming dates and the thrill he gets from seeing his friends succeed in their own varied careers. Edgar Wright was also in this week, promoting his upcoming film The Running Man. He spoke about the process of his film’s creation, from his inception of the idea when he was fourteen, to the film’s eventual release. He also told of a curious superstition he has regarding his movies’s premieres. 

Keep an ear out for loads of other silly bits in this week’s episode:

• Polly’s student radio video
• Chris and Dom’s wee adventures 
• Dom’s uncle's rifle polishing

Did you dress up this Halloween?

With the full team back in the studio, we had a busy week with guests, pranks and other silly chat! We also gave some tickets away to the Radio X is Ten gig taking place in Manchester this coming Monday.

The first guest we had this week was Sara Pascoe. She came in to chat about her ongoing I Am A Strange Gloop live standup tour. She also asked Dom lots of questions about his standup performance at the Rode Comedy Festival they both performed at a few months ago.

Next on the show we had the legendary Tom Daley who came in to chat about The Game of Wool, a competitive knitting show that he is hosting, that airs this Sunday evening. Tom was also able to shed light on the inner workings of The Celebrity Traitors and answer the deluge of questions Chris threw at him about the show!

We were then graced with the presence of the wonderful clairvoyant Clinton Baptiste. Clinton spoke about his upcoming live show: Spectral Intercourse that is touring the UK, where he will “receive the audience’s queries and earth-bound dilemmas” and “reach out to spirits for answers.” On the show, he managed to get in contact with one of Dom’s old romantic partners and the details she shared were… frightening.

 Oh but there’s more, so much more:

• The big prank on Polly
• Intern Louis not knowing who Emma Bunton is
• Dom’s ring-a-ding-ding

Enjoy!

What’s the weirdest situation you’ve listened to Radio X in?

Chris was off this week so Toby stepped into the breakfast shoes and had just about the silliest show you can imagine. We were also blessed with some awesome guests this week, gave away lots of tickets to upcoming gigs and became privy to Toby’s terrifyingly accurate clairvoyance skills. 

The first guest we had this week was the incredibly talented Vicky McClure. She came into the studio to chat about the new season of Trigger Point. She spoke to Toby and the team about the unique experience of working with real-world bomb diffusers on set as they aim to make the show as close to reality as possible. What she didn’t expect coming into the studio this week however, was to be playing a game that involved delivering electric shocks to producer John.

Next, Russell Tovey popped into the studio to talk about his new book: Art School (in a book): A future artist's guide to contemporary Art. He spoke about the inaccessibility of the art world for an outsider and how intimidating it can be. He also said that art is for everyone and that his new book is a way of helping young people bridge this gap. Oh and he also chatted about silly things too like how insane it was voicing Sun, Sex and Suspicious Parents.

Finally we had the legendary Mumford & Sons in the studio chatting to Toby about a host of topics, ranging from their latest single featuring Hozier, to being onstage with Springsteen. They also spoke about other artists they dream of collaborating with, such as Stevie Nicks and Adele.

That’s all for this week, but we have these to offer you before we go:

• Planning a heist
• The ceremony at Hayes Bowls Club
• Couples on their wedding night

Enjoy!
