I listen to the XFM radio shows almost daily before going to sleep, it's become somewhat like a hobby but one that gives me immense joy and laughter. It is a shame that the 3 kingpins of podcasting Ricky, Steve & Karl don't do it anymore. Their first 2 seasons of the XFM show is just comedy and radio GOLD. Glad to see Steve is looking healthy and doing his own thing these days, top man 👍

All my life I have been able to write stuff in a way that makes people laugh. But I will do that once or twice a year. I can't imagine the stress involved in writing comedy successfully, week after week. I so appreciate his talent.
