S02 E07 - Daryl Denham

Crunch & Roll

For some people having two chart hit records would constitute a great achievement.

Others would be over the moon having written several successful musicals.

And plenty would rest on their laurels after giving stand-up comedy a bash.

Not Daryl Denham though.

No, no, no. Not content with taking the charts, theatres and back-rooms of pubs by storm, he also had an incredible career in radio. Well, it would be weird if he didn't, what with this being a radio podcast and all...

In this episode Foxy chats to Daryl about how he's not a radio geek (I KNOW, RIGHT?); the strange and unwieldly item he bought on his last day at Hallam; and how his adults-only, late night show didn't go down well in Newcastle.

Contains some strong language.

S02 E06 - Martin Kelner

Listeners to Five Live's Fighting Talk will know each episode ends with the two highest scorers defending a controversial or unpopular opinion in order to win the episode.

So, in that vain: Martin Kelner knows nothing about radio and deserved to be paid less than a horse.

Of course he knows nothing about radio. He's only spent the best part of half a century in the industry. Radio 2? Radio Who more like! So what if he introduced Caroline Aherne and Jake Yapp to us? Victoria Wood was absolutely right to walk out on his interview with her. And Edouard Lapaglie has carried him for years!

Actually, that might be a Defend the Indefensible too far.

Martin is, as Foxy puts it, radio royalty. So we insist you be upstanding while listening to this episode.

There's strong language and we must warn you that this episode includes the funniest story ever told on this podcast, so spare undergarments may be required.

S02 E08 - Kam Kelly

The great thing about podcasting is we can see exactly where in the world people are listening.

Crunch & Roll obviously has a strong following in the UK, but we also have listeners in such far-flung places as South Africa, Indonesia and French Guiana.

But we also know there's a small but perfectly formed cohort of listeners about as far away from 'home' as it's possible to be: the Falkland Islands. And one of that number happens to be this episodes guest, Kam Kelly.

But how did he get there? (Don't say aeroplane.) Well, he went in hard, starting his career at Radio 1 and ended up on the station he had always dreamed of being on as a kid. You'll have to listen to find out the rest.

He chats about the biggest star in the world upset his co-host; bringing presenters four-packs of cider while they're on air; and why you should never say the word 'camel' to him.

There's strong language in this episode.
