Geoff's Unknown Pleasures
-
Geoff Lloyd- 17th May
Geoff returns to the radio, but wait, something's different: Annabel isn't here- she's off on a stoner's coach trip to Amsterdam, and today is replaced by Emily Dean off of Frank Skinner's show- it's weird, but it works.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 16th May
Geoff does his last show with Annabel for a little while as she's off to get high in Amsterdam tomorrow (not really), but they have a lovely old time discussing all manner of things, such as impressing people with silly things, eating at gigs, and Annabel rounds off her assignment in a most successful fashion.
-
Geoff Lloyd- Frank Turner
Geoff returns with a special guest in the form of Frank Turner, who seems to be a thoroughly nice chap. There's also a surprising amount of talk about the name Mervyn, and if that wasn't enough, Geoff takes some calls and that.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 14th May
Geoff and the team didn't win any awards at last night's prestigious Sony Awards, but Geoff's not one to grumble- he grits his teeth and soldiers on bravely. Like a soldier. A brave soldier.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 10th May
Geoff rounds off the week with some calls, a few wry observations about life, and well, you get the idea- it's the Hometime Show and it's ace, so drink it in my friends, drink it in...
-
Geoff Lloyd- 9th May
Geoff once took a train to travel a short journey in his home town, but ended up in Blackpool, and that is just one of the inspirations for today's show. I mean to say it's one of the phone in topics, not that he started in one place and ended up in a very different place although, now I come to think of it, that's also true.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 8th May
Geoff and Annabel return amidst much tension and drama- the tension is due to the retirement of friendly football manager Alex Ferguson, and the drama is down to an almost life-threatening accident with Geoff. Plus, a story about a woman who got shot, but then realised she didn't get shot. It's all go today...
-
Geoff Lloyd- 7th May
Geoff returns from the bank holiday to share with you tales of fitness and ailments both. I'll leave you to discover how that pans out, but there are amusing stories told with usual aplomb.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 3rd May
Geoff rounds off the week the only way he knows how, by fulfilling his contractual obligation to do a radio show. Still, he does his best to make the experience enjoyable for everyone involved, and I think he actually secretly enjoyed himself...
-
Geoff Lloyd- 2nd May
Geoff thinks that this show was a little mediocre, but let's be honest, how bad can it really be? I reckon it's probably no worse than usual, and certainly better than half of the stuff on the internet. Why not have a listen and find out?
-
Geoff Lloyd- 1st May
Have you ever had to hide for over an hour? Some of the people calling in today did- and what tales they had- if only you could hear them. Why, you can, using this handy electronic memory file.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 30th April
Geoff isn't the type of fellow to just talk about what the best flavour of crisp is and why you never see white dog poo anymore, oh no. Geoff's the sort of fellow who talks about when food is out of context, and what's the smallest job but biggest ballache...
-
Geoff Lloyd- 29th April
Geoff and Annabel return to the radio for, well it's a radio show- there's some calls, some witty observations about the world around us and a load of talk that will warm your cockles. (Disclaimer: this podcast may not warm your cockles).
-
Geoff Lloyd- 26th April
Geoff rounds off the week by talking about bees, famous houses, and much more besides. Plus, it seems like the people at the Beetroot Council have been stalking him...
-
Geoff Lloyd- 25th April
Geoff returns to talk about the tricky things in life- like how you can blag stuff for free, and pretentious youngsters. He also recounts the heartwarming story about when his dad tried to cheer him up about his appearance.
-
Geoff Lloyd- Danny Wallace
Geoff is joined by Danny Wallace to talk about his new book, (for clarity, the new book is by Danny, not by Geoff). However, the conversation is stunted slightly, when Danny accuses Geoff of wearing a "drug shirt"...
-
Geoff Lloyd- 23rd April
Geoff and Annabel are back to ask the questions others wouldn't, such as what (small) piece of good news you've had, what thing don't you understand or enjoy despite everyone else getting it, and how the money you spend on Weetabix is funding China's economy.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 22nd April
Geoff's made it through the weekend, (and his birthday), and is back with musings on pound notes, why albums should come with instructions on how to dance to them, and a wealth of texts and calls.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 19th April
It's the day before Geoff's birthday, so we celebrate with a special show- we take some calls, Geoff does some talking and Annabel reads some funny letters. Wait, that's the same as a normal show isn't it? I mean, we had some cake in the studio, but that doesn't really come across in the podcast. Maybe I should stop writing these bits...
-
Geoff Lloyd- Suede Abbey Road
Geoff and Annabel are broadcasting from Abbey Road ahead of Suede's session for us. He talks to Bret and Matt from the band, and you can expect all the usual bits from the Hometime Show. Reading that back, "Usual fun bits" is a bit vague isn't it? I basically mean funny thoughts from Geoff and Annabel. It's better than the description, trust me...
-
Geoff Lloyd- 17th April
Geoff is having the best day of his entire life today, for he has become immortalised in...actually wait, I better not tell you here- it's not that I want to spoil the surprise, it's just that, well let's just say he mentions the reason he's so happy rather a lot in this episode, and I don't want to bore you...
-
Geoff Lloyd- 16th April
Geoff and Annabel return to delve deep into the rich seam of radio. Or something along those lines- I was trying to make it sound more dramatic, but that's not really what we're here for is it? If you want drama, why not go and watch Silent Witness instead?
-
Geoff Lloyd- 15th April
Geoff and Annabel discuss the critical issues of the day, including "have you ever been an accidental pervert?" "What's your 'reset' song?" and "would the Panorama episode on North Korea be more interesting if the journalists took LSD?"
-
Geoff Lloyd- 12th April
Old people doing things they really shouldn't be doing. Or at least things that we expect them not to, because as you'll learn from this, they're doing whatever they feel like doing.
-
Geoff Lloyd- Rob Delaney- 11th April
Geoff and Annabel are joined by comedian Rob Delaney, to discuss how he averted catastrophy in the US election, dealing with stalkers, and staying grounded whilst getting poo'd on.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 10th April
Geoff and the team discuss many things, suggest things to do when you're bored, and why being nominated for a prestigious radio award can be a double-edged sword...
-
Geoff Lloyd - 9th Apr
Topics for the day are strange things received in the post and weird invitatons, also find out how Annabel gets on in the first day of her challenge
-
Geoff Lloyd - 8th Apr
Geoff Lloyd and Annabel Port kick off the week with another Hometime Show
-
Geoff Lloyd- 5th April
We finish off the week by asking, quite simply, "What's the strangest thing or person you've seen in your back garden?" Snow White, a tiger, and a grand piano are just some of the gems we heard...
-
Geoff Lloyd- 4th April
Geoff and the team discuss the following: marrows, cartoon injuries, what your dad doesn't eat, what you don't understand, and what that person who was in that band now does for a living, but to keep you in suspense, you'll have to listen to this to find out which order they talk about all that in!
-
Geoff Lloyd- 3rd April
Technology that won't die. That's something that Geoff discusses today, but that's just the start of it- later on in the show, he comes up with perhaps the most original phone in topic in history- in fact, it goes as far as re-writing some of history- it's that original!
-
Geoff Lloyd- 2nd April
Phew this week is dragging...however, Geoff soldiers on regardless and even makes the odd funny or two- he's a real trooper sometimes. He also makes a scrap yard made of other people's property that you've broken, and discusses the surprising amount of you that own original artworks.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 28th March
Geoff rounds off our short four day week by asking what odd security measures your parents take, how you spoil your pet, and what you've found when you've been rumaging around in a bin. The word "eclectic" is over-used these days, so we'll just call it "diverse"...
-
Geoff Lloyd- Lee Mack
As the title of this podcast would suggest, Lee Mack drops by for a chat with Geoff and they discuss his book, trains, and why all days should have a different name- all of them.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 26th March
Geoff returns to discuss matters such as how to beat terrorists, what you can take from work to use for your own devices, and the team finally decide what is posh and what is not posh.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 25th March
Geoff and the team are back from their break. They've had some holiday so they should be well rested and sharp as tacks. Let's see if that's the case....
-
Geoff Lloyd- Red Nose Day- 15th March
As it's Red Nose Day we update our list of famous people living or dead who have very red noses. But that's not all, oh no, Russell Brand also calls Geoff for a chat, and we hear the story of Geoff's dad's attempt to make him a homemade red nose...
-
Geoff Lloyd- 14th March
Phew, what a busy show- we had Frank Skinner join us, we had Geoff's brother being coached in interview technique by a person who interviews people, and we had a chat with the XX. AND, we still did calls, and Annabel did her postbag and all the usual stuff. You could say it's a bumper edition.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 13th March
Despite the excitement of an iminent Pope announcement, Geoff just about manages to stay calm. Just. In other news we talk about nomenative determinism, and queueing for things just because everyone else is doing it.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 12th March
It's Annabel's birthday, but we didn't let that distract us from the job in hand, as we hear stories of squalor that will make your toes curl. On a lighter note, we speak to Geoff's brother about interviewing The Rock, and we invent a really relaxing TV network.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 11th March
Sometimes it seems like you're not the favourite child in your family- so why are your siblings better than you? Not that it matters, parents never really have one child they like more than the others...or do they?
-
Geoff Lloyd- 8th March
Geoff and Annabel honour the fact that it's both International Womens' Day AND the last show before Mothers' Day, by asking about mums. Geoff even calls his mum during the show, and that's always fun. Plus he questions why it's now ok to take penknives on planes.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 7th March
Happy World Book Day! No? Oh well, we can still talk about books a bit, not in a boring way you understand, but in a fun, lively Hometime way. Berlusconi and Star Wars are also mentioned, but not in the same link. That would just be strange casting.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 6th Feb
Geoff and the team delve into the minds of listeners...actually, that's going a bit far, but I wanted to suck you into the description by making it sound a bit sci fi. Anyway, they talk about a number of topics, including a story about a gunman flinging pigeons around!
-
Geoff Lloyd- Chris Addison- 5th March
Geoff is joined by friend of the show (we say that, but he's actually friends with Geoff more than the rest of us), Chris Addison, and they get along famously, talking about all manner of things. It's probably better that I don't spoil the surprise and you just listen to this and find out exactly what they discuss.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 4th March
Geoff is back to discuss the Queen's toilet habits, disgusting jobs, haggling and Chairman Mao. Whatever else you may say about him, you can't deny he's conversationally diverse...
-
Geoff Lloyd- 1st March
You know when you like a celebrity a lot, and you know everything about them and their life, but you're not that interested in their career otherwise? You're not a stalker or anything, you just like them. A lot. Ok, it's a difficult topic to summarise, but that's basically what we're talking about at various points throughout the show.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 28th Feb
Seeing teachers where they shouldn't be, being old before your time and what you've seen through windows- all this features in today's podcast. Plus, Geoff starts an important campaign to bring back people called Benny.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 27th Feb
What were you doing on the eve of the Pope's last day as...erm...the Pope? Well we were doing a radio show to take your mind off the whole thing. Actually, Geoff and Annabel managed to mention him quite a lot, so it probably won't take your mind off him. Or his little red shoes...
-
Geoff Lloyd- 26th Feb
Do you remember that time you went up to your mate in the pub and grabbed him round the waist and kissed him on the cheek, only it wasn't your mate, it was Duncan Goodhew? Well, that sort of thing forms the basis for at least one of the things we talk about tonight.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 25th Feb
"I was walking around for ages and nobody told me..." is just one of the things that Geoff discusses today on the show, alongside odd packed lunches, and in many ways, isn't that a metaphor for this; an odd radio packed lunch? Kind of anyway.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 22nd Feb
Geoff and the team finish off the week in the only way they know how- by doing a radio show for the exact number of hours they're contracted to do. It is however, a lot of fun, so dive in (metaphorically speaking), and listen (literally).
-
Geoff Lloyd- 21st Feb
Swallowing things, not going to places, and improving things. Those catagories are just three things that will make more sense to you after you listen to this podcast. We also hammer up some more plaques on the Dead Dogs Memorial Wall.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 20th Feb
A busy busy old show today, as we speak to Pete Donaldson live at the Brit awards, we also speak to Alt J, Paloma faith, and Dave bloody Grohl- get in! In between that we also host our own version of the awards- the Instant Brit Awards- they're as prestigious as they sound.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 19th Feb
This show is so packed full of tasty Hometime goodness that it would be a disservice to attempt to summarise it into a small description. However, we will say that if you're a regular listener one thing you might not expect is a debate on quantum mechanics- you're going to get one though, and it's a beauty.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 18th Feb
It's a sad day as we've lost not one, not two, but THREE celebrities, so to distract ourselves, we hear some lovely tales from both Geoff and the listeners; ever wanted to hear a story about a man who got drunk at 10am and bought a python by mistake? Good, cos there's one inside.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 15th Feb
It's that time of the year where we ask you to tell us about your dad's best mate- what they do and an interesting thing about them. There's more obviously, but I didn't want to spoil the surprise, so I just told you the first part.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 14th Feb
It's Valentines Day, but we're not getting all gushy, soppy or any other word that sounds gloopy but means romantic in a sickly way. We hear tales of despair, heartbreak and unrequited love. And it's bloody brilliant, so there.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 13th Feb
Are you mothered? Do you mother? Do you have pets that have a boyfriend or girlfriend? What is your daily checklist? All these vital issues and more will be discussed inside- so dive in, it's perfectly safe.
-
Geoff Lloyd - 12th Feb
Happy Pancake Day! To celebrate Geoff gives his thoughts on North Korea's nuclear test and asks if you've ever humiliated yourself in a new job
-
Geoff Lloyd - 11th Feb
Geoff's thoughts on the Pope resigning, we hear from someone who went to the doctors on someone else's behalf and we ask what your parents have done with your old room
-
Geoff Lloyd - 8th Feb
The end of the week and we're asking for your stories of living in a pigsty (not literally)
-
Geoff Lloyd - 7th Feb
Geoff's gutted that Theo will be leaving Dragon's Den so we try and decide who should replace him, we're also asking for goat stories, no idea why but it seemed to take off. Find out how Annabel gets on clearing the name of Genghis Khan
-
Geoff Lloyd- 6th Feb
Did you know that when Geoff was a lad, rather than buy him pencil rubbers, his dad would tell him to use stale white bread? Inspired by this, we ask for other stories of dads fixing problems in unique ways, and not inspired by that, we ask for stories of the sweetest tooth, plus much more besides; I mean, I can't summarise everything that happened...
-
Geoff Lloyd- 5th Feb
Once when he was young, someone told Geoff that "Calippo" was the word for a lewd work in Spanish, and he believed it for years. Anyway, that's just ONE of the many things discussed on the show today, and some of the items discussed are even better than that, so what are you doing? Dive in!
-
Geoff Lloyd- 4th Feb
The team return for a new week, (they're contractually obliged to do so), and ask searching questions such as "are pennies good or bad?" and "what has made you feel like you're in a film even though you're not in a film?".
-
Geoff Lloyd- 1st Feb
It's the end of the week and Geoff has managed to burn his bum on a heated towel rail. This prompts us to ask what injuries you've had causes by houshold objects. Geoff also questions Gareth on his housemate selection process.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 31st Jan -Alt J
As is traditional on the last show of Janurary, (it's not, I just made that up), we discuss ways of getting back at your boss, your personal bests at made up things, and we talk to the wonderful Alt J who did a session for us.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 30th Jan
Geoff uses all his presenting skills to bring you this podcast, which contains the Gypsy Kings on a plane, a man scaring a pigeon and Geoff explaining why he'd be a good jester for the rich and spoiled.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 29th Jan
Geoff is back, questioning why Absolute Radio staff are given such rubbish biscuits in the staff canteen, what you chose to do a project on at school, and whether hedgehogs aren't reproducing due to it being too painful. We also make a map of fictional places.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 28th Jan
Geoff ponders all manner of things today, including monkeys in space, wedding rings, and the odd things that people have in their gardens. We also hear his thoughts on Brian Cox and Annabel gets a new assignment for the week. It's chocca block with podcasty nuggets.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 25th Jan
It's the end of the week and it's Burns night- it's TWO things! In honour of said Scottish special day, we ask for stories of Scottish people you know (Great Scots), and also things you've burned.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 24th Jan
Do you remember that kid at school who told all those lies about how his dad was an astronaught and how he took his son to space and they ate special space food and all that kind of thing? Well we talk about little people who bend the truth, but if that doesn't interest you, don't worry we talk about loads of other things too.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 23rd Jan
Today Geoff asks about those times when parents refuse to sugar-coat their responses to childhood questions, and instead reply in the most blunt manner possible. We also bemoan the public's desire to rid the nation of childhood obesity- if they get their way, then what of the Rolands and Augustus Gloops of the world?
-
Geoff Lloyd- 22nd Jan
Mr Bieber Justin Beiber is the most followed person in the world on Twitter, but not for long-Geoff's amassing a hoard of followers, and he's going to knock that smug little chap right off the top spot. Any minute now...
-
Geoff Lloyd- 21st Jan
Geoff and the Hometime Team are back and mourning the sad loss of Michael Winner, but also remembering some of his classic moments, including the time Geoff stayed in the room next to him in an hotel and heard him making some very peculiar noises...
-
Geoff Lloyd- 18th Jan
We enter the snowy landscape of the weekend, and ask what you've got up to in someone's house when they weren't there. Also, when has grammar totally left you?
-
Geoff Lloyd- 17th Jan
Today Geoff wasn't feeling well, but like a trooper he trudged his way through the show, discussing on his way what celebrities smelled like, being ill in inappropriate places, and diets invented on no scientific basis whatsoever.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 16th Jan
Never afraid to break new boundaries in broadcasting, Geoff pushes onwards in a quest to break ground that was previously unbroken. Today we ask the members- Where does your mum go? And, do you know what? It's brilliant.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 15th Jan
We don't like to rest on our laurels during the Hometime Show, so today we ponder such important topics as what your animals react strangely to, what condiment you totally over-use, and tales of petty theft in adolescence. We also open a retirement home for retired mascots.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 14th Jan
Geoff poses a number of interesting questions today, and we recieved a number of interesting responses. It's nice when things work out that way, so we implore you to listen to this, and keep the system working...
-
Geoff Lloyd- 11th Jan
For most of us it's the first weekend after our first proper week back at work- if you've decided to give up the drink for Janurary then it's a tough weekend, so we celebrate that by asking "What's your crack?"- what legal things are you addicted to- knitting, Coca-Cola, and ear hair plucking are just some of the things...
-
Geoff Lloyd- 10th Jan
It's Brits nominations day, so Geoff chats to Pete Donaldson and Paloma Faith, which is always entertaining, and we discuss animals out of context, all of which make for a lovely entertaining time.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 9th Jan
It's the 150th Anniversary of the London Underground, and we celebrate by asking what bizarre behaviour you've seen on public transport- false teeth, curry eaten with a card and more oddness abound! Plus, Geoff discusses the BAFTAS and Monopoly. If nothing else, we're diverse.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 8th Jan
Happy Bowie Day! We celebrate the fact that David Bowie has released his first new material in AGES by asking for stories of Bowie sightings in unusual places, and we also hear from other people who have unique alter egos.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 7th Jan
Geoff and the team are back, so you can stop your sobbing and give your ears a nourishing treat of delicious Hometime goodness. We hear tales of sibling torture, plus your usual favorites.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 21st Dec
It's CHRISTMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS!!! We celebrate our last show of the year by talking about the person Christmas is truly about- Noddy Holder. We also play some of our favorite bits of the year, including interviews with Mumford and Sons and from the Paralympics.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 20th Dec
It's the penultimate show of the year, and we ask what odd traditions your family have at Christmas and, since it's almost the end of the year, we do a final farewell to any departed dogs in our Dead Dogs Memorial Wall.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 19th Dec
You shouldn't listen to this, you're only allowed to listen to podcasts from the BBC. That's not true, but we did speak to people about what they weren't allowed to do when they were young, like watch ITV and that sort of thing.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 18th Dec
"You're fired", so screams Lord Alan Sugar on the Apprentice, (even though you can't fire someone before you fire them), and we're talking to people who've been sacked for unusual reasons- do you have a moody face? Did your dad have an affair with your boss?
-
Geoff Lloyd- 17th Dec
Geoff ponders his future now that his favorite TV shows are finished for the year and, inspired by his slobby behaviour, asks for stories of slovenly slobs.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 14th December
Have you seen that Kim Wylde, all tipsy and singing on the train after a Christmas party? No? Well you should have a look, it's really funny. It also inspired us to talk about times you've seen celebrities showing off in public. Show offs. Oh, and Annabel's got 2 colds!
-
Geoff Lloyd- 13th Dec
Geoff wonders why he keeps losing gloves, we ask what basic things you cant do, find out what Geoff thought of the Hobbit Premiere, and Stereophonics are on the show
-
Geoff Lloyd- 12th Dec
Ooya, this podcast is STUFFED with good things! We have a chat with Alun Cochrane, and then we have a chat with Of Monsters and Men- yeah TWO chats! But don't worry, all the usual bits you've become accustomed to are still in there, and best of all Annabel is back!
-
Geoff Lloyd- 11th Dec
We're hobbling along with three wheels on our wagon as Annabel is off poorly sick, but that doesn't stop us muddling through and just about cobbling something together.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 10th Dec
We're honouring all sorts of things today- we honour the greatest headline in newspaper history, then we honour Patrick Moore. Do listen, it'd be an absolute honour.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 7th Dec
Stop playing with your food! Actually, don't stop completely, just long enough to tell us the strange ways in which you have to consume said food. Also, discover Geoff's tactic to look like you were partying all night, whilst in the comfort of your own home.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 6th Dec
Intruder Alert! People in the wrong places- in your house, in your car, getting on stage in the village hall musical. Or, were YOU the intruder? Did you get into someone's car/house/nativity play? We also hear a very awkward moment from Geoff's personal life, which is always fun.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 5th Dec
Borrowing, lending, not returning, hoarding. All these problems; some might say symtomatic of the problems affecting Western society in general, are laid bare in this show. Well, there's a phone in about stuff you've borrowed and never got back anyway...
-
Geoff Lloyd- 4th Dec
The Apollo space probe will be hurtling around in space all on its own for all eternity. And that made us feel a little sad, so we asked for more stories of giving inanimate objects a human persona. Geoff also talks about military dolphins as well.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 3rd December
There's Royal baby news, and Geoff is understandably thrilled. Mainly because it helped him come up with a phone in topic for the show. Elsewhere he talks Christmas wreath theft, and the joy of text.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 30th Nov
Ok, what you've got here is your standard podcast. There's the bits of talking that Geoff and Annabel do, and instead of songs we've put little bits of talking in their place. That's the rules. Anyway, you can listen to this on the train, bus, in the bath, up a tree, wherever you like.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 29th Nov
Parents' crushes, and a newsroom made entirely of cartoon characters. A long annecdote about a film and the final part of Annabel's assignment. All tucked up together in a lovely free podcast for you all.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 28th Nov
Asking embarrassing things from strangers, them asking embarressing things from you, old people getting divorced, sitting in a lay by. What's the world coming to? Wel...this!
-
Geoff Lloyd- 27th Nov- Beano!
Geoff is joined today by special guest Mike Stirling- who he? Only editor of the Beano, THAT'S who! We also discuss things your parents made for you instead of buying the real version, and a vintage assignment from Annabel.

-
Geoff Lloyd- 15th November
Dan hates it when people sing along to songs in the office- it just annoys him. Does that make him a bad person? What about if you want to push people in the street for texting while they walk? Moral dilemmas galore inside...
-
Geoff Lloyd- Tim Minchin- 14th Nov
Tim Minchin joins Geoff, to discuss Jesus Christ Superstar, and the show he's doing for Shelter. We also compile a set of rules for social media.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 13th Nov- Johnny Marr
Crazy people shouting at you in the street, a bunch of musicians in a lift, and the great Johnny Marr. Where can you find this odd collection? Inside this podcast- that's where.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 12th Nov
Once upon a time, in a galaxy far, far away, there was a radio show that asked people to call in with examples of when they behaved like they were in a film. That show was Geoff Lloyd's Hometime Show, today.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 9th Nov
In honour of Coronation Street star Bill Tarmey, we're collecting pigeon stories. We're like pigeon story fanciers, if you see what I mean...
-
Geoff Lloyd- 8th Nov
Geoff was feeling sick today- he can remember the last two occasions he was sick too, so it's a big deal. We also discuss Clergymen out of place.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 7th Nov
An exciting one this- besides the usual calls and texts, we received one that was particularly interesting, but left us feeling a little confused...
-
Geoff Lloyd- 6th November
It's the day of the American elections, so with that in mind we discuss Barry's that you know (Barack Obama used to call himself Barry- FACT!).

A busy show today, we speak to Richard Hawley from the Mercury Music Awards, and take a look at the rubbish bands of your youth.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 31st October
Ooooh spoooooooky! That's what today's show is, what with it being Halloween and all. We talk zombie escape plans and the best practical joke ever.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 30th October
Today we absolve your sins. Sort of. What we actually do is listen to your confessions of times you've let someone else take the blame for something you did. It's funny though, and that's what matters.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 29th October
Fainting, we're oddly jealous of people who faint, and so to further fan the flames of jealousy, we hear stories of those who faint a lot.
-
Geoff Lloyd- 26th October
Geoff has recovered and is back in the studio to ask, among other things, what makes your pet go mental?
-
Geoff Lloyd- 24th October
Lying to get a job, porn in schools, and taking free stuff. It sounds like we've gone all crazy and are encouraging bad behaviour, but listen and you'll find that's not the case...
