To finish your Chatabix week off in style, we bring you an extra episode from our back-catalogue vaults. And in this show, first posted on 16th November 2022, we’re joined by the brilliant genius Richard Osman, who chats mainly to David about the county of Sussex, whilst Joe watches iPlayer. Then they all turn their attention to gameshows and how to come up with great new TV ideas. There’s also a...

It’s our 500th show and the final episode of this series. So what better way to end things before we take a short break than with a Listener’s Mailbag! We kick things off with a message from someone very close to the pod about Joe’s domestic cleaning - which is all rather awkward for him. And it’s pretty uncomfortable for David too when Joe asks him for an update on his washed sofa covers. This le...

After last week’s episode about swingers, David suggests they ask the Chatabix Patreons if any have swung and might be up for coming on the pod to chat about it. Much like last time, it’s a subject that makes Joe feel very uncomfortable - but he can’t quite explain to David exactly why. After failing to get to the bottom all that, they send out the message and surprisingly get quite a few response...

To kick off the Chatabix week, each Monday we’re putting out an episode from the early days of the pod, as there’s plenty you might not have heard. Well, we have recorded about 12,000 episodes. Please excuse any dodgy sound quality as there was plenty of that back then - but we’re hoping you might find that all part of the charm. In this week’s episode, first posted on 31st January 2022, David get...

Just in time to kick off your weekend, it’s more treats from the Chatabix mailbag. This week, David and Joe read out messages about a Cliff Richard Blue Plaque, a Chatabix book club, the Totness market bakery, a recent dream about the pod, a song inspired by biscuits, sea-shanties, a potential new theme tune and a listener’s dance music track. It’s a proper musical episode - enjoy! FOR ALL THINGS...

After a quick brainstorm about what to talk about on today’s show, Joe and David decide to look at some life hacks. But after a promising start, they soon get board of the idea. So they scrap that and switch things up by David asking Joe what he’ll be doing in five years time - which sends Joe into a bit of a spin. So you can expect loads of slightly uncomfortable chat about difficult decisions, g...

After listening to an old Chatabix episode from a couple of years ago, David’s remembered his plan to track down some swingers to talk to on the pod. He and Joe quickly realise it might be quite a weird thing to do, but plough on with the idea nonetheless. Joe’s also pretty worried about the dark web, as he thinks they may have to use it for their research. But as David can’t turn off his browser’...

Joe’s travelling up to London for some work and while he’s on the train, he Zooms David to record today’s episode. So, there’s lots of chat about trains, they both tell stories about weird passengers they’ve encountered, we all learn a bit about what ADR is and Joe tell’s David about a recent encounter with a litterer which got him properly worked up. Plus, there’s the obligatory patchy WI-Fi sign...

Another one straight from the vaults - and this time we’re chatting about the quote on Joe's bedroom wall, the charts and Joe takes an IQ test First posted 8th June 2021 FOR ALL THINGS CHATABIX'Y FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE/CONTACT: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@chatabixpodcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/chatabix1 Insta: https://www.instagram.com/chatabixpodcast/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/chatab...

More mailbag, more of your emails - and this week’s selection includes a request for a personalised birthday message, a repot of a kissing Joe, advice on buying a narrowboat, recollections from a holiday in Majorca, information on old TV prop storage, a lovely listener jingle and some momories from a listeners old raving days. Thanks for all your messages, we love reading them! Please send us more...

After some chat about Spotify playlists and whether they’re starting to looking old, Joe asks David if he’s had any progress with his plans to become a house-husband. Which naturally leads them onto discussing housework in general and just how much of it they actually do? To get to the bottom of things, they come up with a nifty little quiz to find out which of them does the most - and it turns ou...

It’s a right old mixed bag of chat on today’s show - all very Chatabixy! So, after starting off with David playing some old BBC Christmas promos from the 80’s, the conversation moves onto feeling nostalgic (or not), location film sets in Devon and Brighton, David losing another tooth, feeling weird about people knowing where you live, a few messages from listeners and finally Joe’s ongoing battle...

To kick off today’s show, Joe tells David that he’s started drawing using his iPad, which he’s really loving and has almost finished his first picture. Also, as they’ve both been ill for the past week, they compare notes on all that. Then it’s onto the main topic of the episode - David’s week alone at home without Naomi, taking full responsibility for looking after the kids and doing all of the ho...

In this week’s show from the Chatabix archives, first posted on 30th March 2021 (and our second ever episode), David and Joe talk about wearing make up and terrible teenage songs.

This week’s mail (i.e. emails sent into us over the past 3 years) includes messages about gut-barging, painting canal barges, a missing goat, talking about teeth and a most unfortunate cycling injury. Plus, in a Mailbag first, we speak to the actual Joe Wilkinson whose email we read out last week. What a lovely Chatabiscuit!

David has come up with three potential topics to discuss on today’s show and thankfully, Joe likes the sound of all of them. But when David begins with a very embarrassing story from his youth about going to the Café de Paris nightclub in London and the first time he took an ecstasy pill - Joe’s really only interested in hearing more about that. So buckle up for a full hour of revelations about hi...

On a recent episode of the pod, David and Joe talked about heart attacks and mentioned that they’d be fascinated to speak with someone who’s had one. It turns out that loyal Chatabiscuit Andrew White had one about 10 years ago - and he graciously emailed in to say he’d be happy to have a chat. So he joins us on today’s show for a good old natter about it all. Thankfully Andrew fully recovered from...

Petra’s been away for a week and to be honest, Joe’s been struggling on his own. Which gets him and David thinking about what life would be like if they became single again - and as it turns out, it’s pretty bleak. Joe then reveals he had an altercation whilst out driving the other day, so him and David swap stories about other annoying road incidents. After all that, to lighten the mood, David te...

More listener’s emails, both old and new. And the first one we read out is from another Joe Wilkinson - how mad is that! Thanks Joe, lovely to hear from you. Other messages include an invite to a game of tennis, more sightings of Blue Plaques, some behavioural therapy regarding showing off, the problems with listening to the pod whilst using a chainsaw, television props, being on the Krypton Facto...

TV Joe’s just back from a trip to Nashville USA. So David and Joe kick things off by finding out how that all went and also ask him a lot of questions about cowboy boots. But of course TV Joe has a new quiz for them to play - and this time it’s a great, three-part game called ‘Name That Age’. David and Joe are pretty excited about it - so much so that they even wonder if Richard Osmond might be in...
