Ricky Gervais is returning to radio with a new weekly show being podcast by the Guardian Unlimited website.

Gervais and his writing partner, Stephen Merchant, will be reunited with their sidekick, Karl "the K Man" Pilkington, who produced their Saturday afternoon show on Xfm.

But they have decided not to go back to the GCap-owned London station, and will instead make the programme available for download over the internet.

Here's the brilliant XFM shows available for download: http://www.xfm.co.uk/article.asp?id=3673 and http://www.xfm.co.uk/sectional.asp?id=4159

I just may well give this a listen. Gervais humours me slightly.

Yep, on a planet of 6 billion it's just you!


... No, it's not just you, that'd be silly.

haver, do you use podcasts often? can you recommend any good free ones? so far the only one i've found that i like is happy tree friends, but that's a video anyway, so not really radio podcast.

Do a search for "Woosel" on iTunes.

Out of plug mode now, the only podcast I listen to is the Chris Moyles one, any recommendation of any other good ones is appreciated.

Four and three letters in our names too, UNCANNY. Like that Xmen comic.

I'd stop him bullying me if it wasn't so damned funny.

I thought the Office was rubbish, but he is quite funny. Extras had its moments and his stand-up stuff is good.

I hate the first episode, it makes me cringe listening to myself on it. 2, 3 and 4 are loads better in my opinion.

You've certainly improved. I'm just finishing up four now and some of that has had me laughing quite a bit. The Mario Kart music was a nice touch too.

Edit: But Guy goes a bit mental at the end.

To tell you the truth dukkadukka, most podcasts are pretty specialist, so it's difficult to find general/chit-chat shows. I mean, I've listened to Xbox podcasts and comic webcasts but there's certainly, certainly room for someone to emerge with a genuinely funny chat show.

So that's Woosel out of the equation LOL

Only jostling. The word association bit is quite good.

I can't bear to listen to my own crap, ALL of them make me cringe, even the ones I think are better :)
