The sheer number of "oh my God did he just say what I thought he just said" moments was only rivalled by the decent music they play on XFM. If he makes millions with his podcast and he probably will it'll mean he'll never go back to XFM which would be a real shame.

The podcasts have been entertaining enough but compared to the original XFM shows they lack a certain something. Maybe it was the edgyness of the XFM live broadcast and the very real chance that he might say "cock" on radio and irritate the censors. Maybe it was, as Steve Merchant put it "the banging choons" they used to play, or maybe it is the fact that much of the chat is in fact recycled from the XFM original. BTW, the XFM shows can be downloaded in one archive from isohunt using bittorrent and I strongly recommend it. They are encoded in ogg but can easily be converted. Hmmmmmm….I’m not sure about this.
