[...] I have effused before about Adam and Joe, which I think was genuinely the best programme on radio. These are just three of the must-listen radio programmes that 6 Music has brought us. [...]

I don’t remember listening to Steve Wright on Radio 1. Perhaps I’ve blotted it out.
His surname is after all rhyming slang….

Thanks for the comment Paul. Good shout re Dave Gorman. That had been in the back of my head. I think Absolute Radio is emerging as a potentially good radio station for these types of comedy / music programmes.

Was with you until you mentioned your dislike of Herring and Collins. It was their constant going on about Adam and Joe that finally made me listen – never did have time to listen in live.

I quite like the Dave Gorman podcast from Absolute radio, it features some quite esoteric ideas too.

Cool, I’ll definitely give it a shot, thanks!

It’s not necessarily “fun” (it’s not a comedy show by any stretch of the imagination), but it’s well-produced and very worthwhile listening.

Thanks for the comments everyone.

Gary — Thanks for the Gervais and Merchant suggestion. That could be a good alternative.

Mr Eugenides — Who could disagree that Rhod Sharp is long overdue better recognition for his services to nocturnal types? Dotun Adebayo already has an MBE. Where is the mighty Rhod Sharp’s recognition?!

Calum — I’ve just looked up This American Life. I must confess, it doesn’t look like it’s very much fun. But I will give it a go!

I, too, am in need of a comedy podcast to replace A&J, although I’m not yet done with the “12 podcasts of Christmas.” Incidentally though you should really (if you haven’t) check out the podcast of This American Life, since that show is always great.

Give Rhod Sharp a primetime slot!

I will miss A&J too. Listening to Merchant and Gervais mp3 on pilkipedia.co.uk are a good alternative if you never heard the original shows. Hope A&J get back to radio sometime soon although I’ll happily listen to Wallace, I quite like him.

I am from UK but live in Sydney and I love their Australian accents. I use them all the time “just go surfing mate”.
