The Luke and Pete Show

After dancing delicately through Luke’s recent toilet trouble for a good ten minutes, we find out that Pete’s been buying radar keys on eBay. Doth the cap fit, n all that. Elsewhere, we rate the last meals of Ivan the Terrible, Hitler and various other horrible men, and we officially dispel the myth of the WWI Christmas Day football match - and we are definitely the first podcast to work that out....

I know what you're thinking - if I download this episode of The Luke and Pete Show, what can I expect to hear? Well, first off you're going to hear about a really expensive tuna. After that you're going to find out all about what it's like trying to get cash out of a bank these days, a conversation which naturally evolves into Pete's latest run in with the taxman, and after that there's a bit of c...

Hello and welcome back to what feels like a podcast at the end of the world. Put it this way, Pete is desperate to know where he can secure regular asthma medication from as we edge ever closer to the abyss. In the meantime, the lads still find time to talk about purchasing paint, why you shouldn't urinate in the sink, and Axl Rose's performing habits. There's also adverts for soup, a very welcome...

Looking back on it, how weird was Covid? Luke and Pete share some of their oddest memories of a strange time, before going on to chat about potential new pandemics, executions and the story of pellagra in the Deep South. After that, they open up the email pipes and hear your stories about wallabies in the Midlands, guide dogs failing their training and a food poisoning story with a twist. To get i...

The Luke and Pete Show is back for another year, and what better way to start 2026 than to have a deep and fairly involved conversation about paté? And when does a paté become a parfait? And when does it become a terrine? Elsewhere, Pete needs a new fridge, the lads run the rule over Enid Blyton and Roald Dahl, and there's plenty of other chat besides. Oh, and are we starting off the year with a b...

Pete's beef wellington didn't quite go to plan on Christmas Day, due to some promises made by a butcher that simply weren't kept. But did he let that setback deter him? Tune in to find out.  Elsewhere, there's some sizable kebab shop chat, Pete has been wrestling with His Majesty's Revenue and Customs again, and the boys hear from a listener who developed food poisoning in one of the most imp...

Merry Christmas everyone! Luke and Pete muster on Christmas Day to deliver you a festive, bumper edition of the Luke and Pete Show, because they know it's what you all asked for from Santa... This time around there's chat about Jake Paul's broken jaw (truly a Christmas present for everyone, that), a truly bizarre claim from the husband of an ex-Blue Peter presenter, some server chat from Pete beca...

Pete has been hanging out with one of the world's most famous bears, and do you know what? He bloody enjoyed it. But the feel-good chat doesn't last very long, and before they know it the lads are taking in their listeners' best food poisoning stories. Elsewhere, there's raccoons. Or rather, one particular raccoon that keeps escaping... Subscribe to join us, and email whenever you like:  hell...

Welcome back to a new episode of the Luke and Pete Show! As we build up towards Christmas, the lads talk presents, including a very thoughtful gift Pete has been working on. Ah, bless. Unfortunately he reverts to type fairly shortly after that after his gastric problems come back and he finds himself stranded in London with nowhere to go. Luke and Pete also find time to hear from an American...

How is Pete preparing his turkey for Christmas dinner this year? By sticking it in the freezer, of course. Pray for his guests, particularly when it sounds like the rest of the day's food is going to be cooked in his airfryer. Elsewhere, and as the title suggests, the lads discuss several tales of food poisoning (unrelated to Pete's cooking, it has to be said), there's a good trip down memory lane...

Pete's been out on the lash again, and you simply will not believe his drunken food of choice. Honestly, you could have a thousand guesses and you'd never get it.  In other news this week, Luke is really hitting all the major milestones of middle age by taking up golf, there's some impassioned follow ups from listeners in our great airfryer debate, and the lads also reminisce about time they'...

Christmas is coming and so the inevitable Pete Donaldson/Luke Moore airfryer debate simply must rear its ugly head. Can Pete honestly be planning to cook his family's Christmas lunch in such a contraption? One can only speculate at this early stage. We are also blessed this time around with plenty of big toe chat, a mysterious advent calendar-themed email, and some truly excellent travel tips for...

Welcome back to your all-new edition of The Luke and Pete Show! This time around, the lads start, as all great podcasts do, with chat about the seminal PC game Lemmings 2: The Two Tribes. Was exposure to it as a young man responsible for Luke's anxiety in adulthood? Seriously, it was a *really* stressful game. There's also time to really run the rule over Noel Edmonds and his blatant writing of th...

Has Christmas started even earlier this year? If so, why? And what's the attraction of adult lego? Just two of the questions that the Luke and the Pete attempt to answer on this episode, the inaugural missive of December. And while we're on the subject of the festive period now the final month of the year is upon us, one of our listeners gets in touch to recommend a Christmas reading of the 9/11 C...

Yes indeed, as the title suggests, Peter has been to the historic city of Leicester, home of his alma mater the iconic De Montfort University, to have a legendary night on the sauce with some old pals. "But where did he go? What hostelries did he patronise?" we hear you ask! Er, it was basically just O'Neill's. Did he have a brilliant time though? Tune in to find out. Elsewhere, the lads marvel at...

What has Pete been up to this week? Now there's a question to strike fear into the heart of men, but worry not! Because the answer basically extends to him cleaning some windows, going to see some stand up comedy for charity and typing some quite unusual things inton ChatGPT. Also on today's episode, the lads also talk about the dot com boom, run the rule over their favourite type of labourer bigg...

Pete tells Luke about his time volunteering on hospital radio before revealing that he was never given a slot on his university's radio station Demon FM ("music with a sting in its tail"), despite his obvious presenting talent. While we're on the subject, we hear from a listener who called into a local radio station competition and totally embarrassed himself in a bid to win £1000. Elsewhere,...

The sheer range of subjects covered on today's episode boggle the mind. Today's topics include, but are not limited to, Pete's Christmas cake recipe, how to beat a bear in a fight, things that are dangerously poisonous, Roman emperors, Russell Crowe, and unwelcome presences on a kidney. The Luke and Pete Show only serves up the longest of shrifts, and don't you forget it. To contribute to this tra...

It seems strange to say it but we now live in a world where one can have high-quality gallium delivered to one's home the very next day. Is Pete taking advantage of that societal development? You'll have to listen to find out. Pete follows the gallium chat by challenging Luke to a snooker showdown, a challenge that Luke approaches like a bull being presented with a red rag. Elsewhere, there's...

Behold! 'Tis the season for Christmas adverts! But why is the Coca-Cola one AI generated again? When will they learn, eh? On today's episode the lads also talk Joe Rogan satire, presidential pardons and finally get to the bottom of the 1991 shooting of a council planning worker by the madman Albert Dryden, courtesy of a listener.  Oh, and there's also breathing tips from the official Danish p...

Welcome back to an all-new episode of the Luke and Pete Show! This time around the lads spend more time than planned on Jamie Oliver, including the truly quaint Turkey Twizzlers incident of 2005. There's also Halloween chat, pirate accents and their origin and Pete forgetting who Greta Thunberg is. And, the question on everyone's lips is answered - is the Battery Robot getting fed today? All in al...

In a development that will surprise absolutely no-one, Pete went into The City for a night out and was propositioned by a sex worker. Unfortunately for all concerned, his small talk made the situation considerably worse. And there’s more bad news - the bin situation in Leigh-on-Sea is out of control! And, what’s more, council are taunting local residents about it! Elsewhere there’s good news for s...

Bad news everyone: Peter has been sealing his car and now he absolutely stinks. No matter what he tries, he can't get the stink off. Luke tries to take his mind off of it by telling him the story about how the Israelis captured Adolf Eichmann. Does it work? Not really. Elsewhere, the lads ruminate on the logistics of having an entirely different and secret extra family, before introducing the...

Today we hear all about Luke's experience of the 2025 Great South Run. 10 miles of sheer hell in biblically bad conditions, he nonetheless just about survived to tell the tale. Pete is baffled as to why anyone would even try to run that far anyway, obviously. Elsewhere, a listener discovers a neighbour with a Remembrance Day-theme doorbell, of all things, and our eponymous hosts also ruminate on w...

Did you ever play manhunt as a kid? And did it ever end up with you almost dying on some mudflats? Those are just two of the questions Luke and Pete tackle on today's episode, alongside Pete's experiences of Christian camp, why certain types of Christian music is actually pretty good (eg The Congos) and the lads' ability to pass a GCSE these days (English? Maybe. Maths? Hell no.) There's also thre...
