S13 Ep 708: The Day David Got Sacked From A Ch4 Sketch Show For Being Crap

Yes that’s right, it’s the first of our twice weekly Celebrity Traitors specials! The series kicked off last night and all the contestants have entered the infamous Traitors castle - including our very own Joe Wilkinson, of course. So from now until the game has reached its dramatic conclusion, David and Joe will be discussing each episode the day after it’s broadcast. Tune in each Thursday and Friday to hear all the details and inside gossip that David can think to ask Joe about, plus plenty of the usual Chatabix diversions. Lovely stuff! Warning: these pods will contain spoilers about each specified episode of Celebrity Traitors, but definitely no more than that. So if you’re watching the show, please don’t listen to them until you’ve seen the episode in question.

Joe’s now watched two more episodes of Clarkson’s Farm - and is absolutely loving it! So he and David are back to discuss even more about the show and the man himself, Jeremy Clarkson. They’re both a little bit in awe of him but are now seriously regretting having a go at his Top Gear and Grand Tour shows. And wonder if they’ve blown their chances of him ever wanting to be a guest on Chatabix. Later in the show, they imagine what it would be like to appear on Clarkson’s Farm themselves and also come up with a plan to teach him about podcasting.

As you might well know, David is a fully committed member of the Clarkson’s Farm fan club - he thinks it’s just wonderfully cosy TV. But Joe wasn't convinced he’ll like it and in spite of David’s encouragement, still hadn't gotten around to giving it a go. That is until now, as he’s finally watched the first episode! So settle in for Joe’s full review - did he like it, will he watch more and will they ever manage to get Jeremy Clarkson to be a guest on the Chatabix?

It’s archive episode time! And in this one, whilst David and Joe wait for their guest to turn up (who doesn’t) they have to think on their feet.

David’s recently discovered an ‘Exit Survey’ on the Chatabix Patreon account - which is a list of reasons both positive and negative that listeners have submitted when un-subscribing. So naturally he reads some of them to Joe. It’s all very revealing and leads them to think about what exactly listeners want from the pod. Then, in a complete change in direction, they decide to read some more One In A Million stories. It’s a bit of a mixed bag and they almost give up at one point, but thankfully there’s a few great ones in there to keep their spirits up. There’s also a brilliant story sent in by the one and only Jamie Demetriou - do not miss!
