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.

S02 E07 - Daryl Denham

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 E09 - David Dixon

Nobody calls him David... unless he's in trouble. So from here on in, we'll use the moniker he's more commonly known by - Dixie.

Dixie is one of the rare breed who are still plying their trade on the radio, after a long and successful career. He must be good!

If you've not heard him on the radio before, then we reckon this episode might make you want to seek him out on Heart Yorkshire, where he co-presents the local Drive show with Emma Lenney. His stories are BRILLIANT.

Find out about the (luke)warm welcome he got when starting work experience at his local station; the madness of trying to broadcast to Brighton in a studio that maybe wasn't quite up to the task; and how he had his eye on a personalised number-plate for when he inevitably got his a gig on Kiss. Although, we don't ever remember hearing him on Kiss...

Contains strong language and adult content.
