Chatabix
Comedians Joe Wilkinson and David Earl chat utter drivel to each other 3-5 days a week. They natter to celebrities and deep dive into guests with interesting lives, as theirs is so boring. Occasionally they plan a surprise for each other to pep it up a bit. David loves hearing about behind-the-scenes stuff from TV shows and writing jingles, while Joe likes adventuring and is obsessed with the podcast charts. Sometimes they embark on a day out podding together just to get out of the house.
