No. 115: Freestyle Radio, Rubbish Football and The Fall, with Danny Baker
Tuesday 8th May 2018
Which two legendary bands did Danny Baker discover? What's up with Cradle To Grave? Why did ITV ditch his non-league football show? And whatever happened to the Turmoil scrapbooks? We ask him.
No. 114: The Exasperation of Bridget Christie
Wednesday 11th April 2018
A voice of sanity in an increasingly wild and weird world, or a woman on the verge of a midlife episode? Bridget Christie's new show should sort things out, one way or another.

Friday 16th March 2018
It's been a big year since we spoke to the increasingly in-demand Desiree Burch, with the Albert Hall to come. So why is she currently doing a week of experimental theatre?
No. 112: Grumpy Old Women's Day, with Jenny Eclair
Thursday 8th March 2018

No. 111: David Baddiel is still a comedian
Friday 2nd February 2018
A lot of people think David Baddiel's new stand-up show is a serious play. It isn't. And his next one looks set to take on the trolls. Plus: kid's books, years of hurt, and the great lost Newman & Baddiel tape.
No. 110: Robin Ince, Not Just Bob-Bob-Bobbing Along
Saturday 16th December 2017
He's back running the festively traditional Nine Lessons and Carols for Godless People, and back doing stand-up - where would modern comedy be without Robin Ince? Serious question.
No. 109: A Random Radio Reception with Phill Jupitus
Monday 23rd October 2017
After a decade of TV, radio and musicals, Phill Jupitus had some notable help with his comeback stand-up tour: from Stewart Lee, Eddie Izzard, chocolate biscuits and some choice tunes. Plus he gives us his rather good on-tour playlist.
No. 108 (Part Two): Ice, Ice Tony
Saturday 30th September 2017
Lumberjack of laughs Tony Law never wanted to be a comedian. He wanted to be... an ice-hockey player! His upcoming ice-tacular scratches that itch. But what's this about trampolining?
