Stubbornly refusing to take a hint, Paul and Steve return after a 6 month break (due to technical reasons) with exactly the same mix of inspired banter (clumsy exchanges), sparkling humour (rubbish jokes) and terrible music (super indie) as before. Behold and marvel at the mighty (less than mighty) return of Idiot Radio.

(nb - one or more of these may be lies)

Tis the season of goodwill to all men, and as there's nothing on the telly (as usual) Steve & Paul invite you to the Idiot Grotto where they'll crack you a walnut, cut you a piece of pork pie, and pour you a glass of Egg Nog, all to the harmonious accompaniment of glorious wooden bells. Happy Christmas !

Thinking there would be safety in numbers, myself and Paul retreated to our secure radio bunker, therein to engage in quality banter whilst playing top tunes. Having since knocked together our first show, we're encouraged by Pete telling us that it gets easier. By the time we get around to our tenth show, maybe we'll have stopped mumbling.

Gallon Drunk - Bedlam
