Our Editor's Take

The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X Podcast brings listeners the best moments from Chris Moyles's UK morning radio show. Chris and his cohosts report news, weather, sports, and cultural events with unapologetic humor. The show also has a quirky "zoo" format, which is common on morning radio programs. Parody songs, strange sound effects, and sarcasm add to the entertaining effect.

The podcast features interviews with celebrities. Listeners hear from Stereophonics's Kelly Jones and Noel Gallagher of Oasis and High Flying Birds. Comedians Ross Noble, Bill Bailey, and Richard Herring visit the show. Unlike some radio podcasts, this isn't a replay of the broadcast. It's a correlated yet distinct program with exclusive commentary.

Moyles has had varied cohosts. Newsreader Dominic "Dom'' Byrne has cohosted since the beginning. Byrne's songwriting skills enhance the show's comedic musicality. He reads the news in the first episode prompted by the jingle, "Dominic reads the news with his bald head." Executive Producer Pippa Taylor is also an original cohost. She accomplishes both goals of running the program yet increasing the fun. Pippa's husband, Radio X host Toby Tarrant, often appears on The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X Podcast.

Topics on the podcast range from Shania Twain cursing to colonics. The hosts take tortilla chip taste tests and interview Michelin star chefs. There is an ever-changing medley of games, music, and dialogue.

One episode, for example, features father and daughter Richard and Izzy Hammond. Richard suffered a brain injury and wanted to help men manage mental health. He says men discuss beer, cards, and football, but not feelings. Izzy helped her dad create the Who We Are Now podcast. Richard says her generation sets an example for older men on mental health.

Moyles is an author, actor, and radio and TV presenter who's won five Sony Radio Awards. His many talents converge on The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X Podcast.
