The Luke and Pete Show

Latest Episodes:

Hot Guys Reading Books May 21, 2026

Show notes

Last episode’s discussion about performative art consumption continues. Now it’s time to analyse blokes in their 20s walking around with a Penguin classic under their wing. They’ve got ulterior motives, Luke reckons.

Also on the table today: clothing and confidence, the brilliance of Danny Kelly and some illuminating listener correspondence about drones.

I’ll Be Your Clown May 18, 2026

Show notes

Luke and Pete check in on the state of the nation to find Starmer being deeply unserious while the King’s having to suck up to Trump.

On a cheerier note, Luke’s been to a musical about Céline Dion followed by afternoon tea at the Ritz. Get your jackets on.

Plus, math rock and performative music enjoyment are under the microscope. And if you’re a harpist, be sure to get in touch.

The One-Armed Green Grocer May 14, 2026

Show notes

Sometimes wrestlers hang out with Welsh nans and sometimes (quite often) American rockstars become really right-wing.

In other news, Sabastian Sawe recently became the first person to run a sub-two hour marathon in race conditions and even Pete is impressed. Luke’s on hand to explain exactly how fast that is.

Plus, both Mr Moore and Mr Donaldson have some family stories to tell, and that’s before we learn about Pete’s dad’s taste in comedy.

MDMA on a Desert Island May 11, 2026

Show notes

GB News continues to evade toothless regulatory bodies and Pete’s dad continues to tune in. It turns out Luke’s met plenty of the presenters, many of whom are, unsurprisingly, “characters”.

Elsewhere, a dinghy-based story from Luke gives way to a discussion about desert islands, both real and imagined. Pete’s got it all worked out for a life of isolation.

One Question for the Boss May 07, 2026

Show notes

Pete’s DIY mission continues and it’s all getting a bit treacherous. He’s discovered some mould and keeps getting electric shocks off his drill. And, to add insult to injury, he’s discovered his old school reports. Luke’s reports, on the other hand, tended not to make it to their destination.

Plus, we’ve got plenty of listener correspondence and a story about Mr Bruce Springsteen.

The Christianity Escape Pod May 04, 2026

Show notes

Luke’s off to the BFI (Boxing Face Institute) and Pete might have recently participated in the worst conversation to have ever happened. At least Sammy the dog is no longer rubbing his balls on Pete’s head. Count your blessings.

Plus, a look back at Radio 6 Music and pompous DJs, parking machines in the middle of nowhere and, lo and behold, the transparency of Russell Brand’s grift has reached new levels.

My Name Isn't James Apr 30, 2026

Show notes

The Imperial War Museum’s got a WWI-era puppet and it’s brought up some terrifying memories for Luke. Maybe ARC Raiders would take his mind off it if it hadn’t gone to pot recently.

Today, a trip down memory lane is in order as Luke and Pete reminisce about the incredibly hard video games of the past and the ways in which you used to be able to just get away with stuff. Luke had a few tricks up his sleeve in New Zealand.

Finally, there’s a battery and some train stations to have a look at.

Yes, Captain Kidney Apr 27, 2026

Show notes

It’s nearly Sir David Attenborough’s 100th birthday but Pete isn’t especially looking forward to the celebrations. He is, however, excited for a certain upcoming brewery-based World Cup event. As is Luke.

Elsewhere on today’s show we’ve got discussion concerning antihistamines and tattoos, some fascinating listener correspondence re: kidney transplants and a return to the wonderful world of what3words.

I’ve Got Loads of Bags of Cement Apr 23, 2026

Show notes

Pete went to Las Vegas for WrestleMania and disgraced himself by not drinking or gambling enough. He got a hat, though. Swings and roundabouts.

Meanwhile, the balustrade saga continues. Pete reckons he’s at least earned the right to have a go at this project and we promise to keep you posted on his progress.

Plus, Luke’s got beef with certain musical solos and overlong albums. Looking at you, Tupac.

Dispatches from Orchestra Camp Apr 20, 2026

Show notes

New Lime bikes are being rolled out! Big news for a man (Luke) who’s racked up an incredible number of kilometres on the current ones.

There’s also some information coming out of Major League Baseball which brings to mind Pete’s famous “infant chip bowl helmet” idea. For newer listeners, those words will be explained.

Finally, Luke reads aloud a letter written by a young Peter to his parents. What happens at orchestra camp stays at orchestra camp.
