Show notes

Hi Russell Brand fans! Radio X are releasing Season 2 of a podcast we think you’ll enjoy. That’s A First! is hosted by comedians Maisie Adam and Tom Lucy and in each episode they’re joined by a guest who reveals some interesting firsts from their life… and then gets ripped to shreds. In series 1 we heard about the first time Romesh Ranganathan soiled himself just before he was due to go in stage and series 2 promises to be just as revealing with guests such as Joel Dommett, Kiri Pritchard McLean and Chris Kamara! This is a quick taster from Maisie & Tom. If you like it, search ‘That’s a First!’ and subscribe on Global Player or wherever you get your podcasts.

EP33: When souls collide in a radio theatre (with Professor Brian Cox) Dec 18, 2017

Show notes

It happened. It really, really happened. A live broadcast (albeit with a 10 second delay), involving a metaphorical glass panel and a LIVE audience. What a beautiful thing.

EP32: A load of Nan-sense (with Wim Hof & Dr Lindsey Fitzharris) Dec 11, 2017

Show notes

This week, Russell & Matt spoke to Dr Lindsey Fitzharris about cutting people's legs off in Victorian times. Nasty. Also, Wim Hof was on the phone with advice on dealing with the (EXTREME) cold. Plus, Matt's "Forgotten Knowledge" continues to blossom.

EP31: Camp Gateau (with Ed Stafford & Robert Lacey) Dec 04, 2017

Show notes

This week, Matt was keen to dissect his recent camping experience with Russell. Is gateau a camping essential? Friend of the show Ed Stafford was on hand to clarify. Also, the lads spoke to Robert Lacey - Royal Correspondent on Netflix series, the Crown!

EP30: Lost a Gee, gained a Noel (with Theo Paphitis & Noel Gallagher) Nov 27, 2017

Show notes

Celebrating 30 episodes back on-air by throwing a loving embrace around wrinkly rocker Noel Gallagher, and lobbing business ideas at former Dragon’s Den ‘Dragon’ Theo Paphitis like he’s some sort of capitalist coconut shy.

EP29: Magic, curses & cults (with Philip Carr-Gomm & Ian Haworth) Nov 20, 2017

Show notes

Russell is keen to dispel the idea that he keeps a foot in all faiths just to be on the safe side. Perhaps Druidry is the answer? Also, Matt's got a calming new item called "Forgotten Knowledge."

EP28: Lift up the bloody paw! (with Graham Hancock & Oscar Schwartz) Nov 13, 2017

Show notes

Russell, Matt and Gee tackle Egyption myths and mysteries with Graham Hancock, AI and poetry with Oscar Schwartz and the glass panel may or may not finally see it's first incumbents.
