The Luke and Pete Show

The Radio Doctor Will See You Now

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, we hear yet again from the insatiable Battery Robot, and Ian Holloway pops into the studio for a chat!


The Luke and Pete Show only serves up the longest of shrifts, and don't you forget it. To contribute to this travelling jamboree, get in touch here: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com

  • Too Stinky for Press-Ganging

    33:18|
    Luke’s been on the health supplements and Pete’s feeling gassy on account of his mānuka honey and apple cider vinegar consumption. Maybe that’s why he reckons his stink would save him from nineteenth-century naval press-ganging.Elsewhere, conversation turns to Luke’s new house and the adjustments needed, but not before Pete shares a truly horrendous nugget of information (?) about the bums of terrorists.Send us your latest stories, questions and comments here: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com.

  • MDMA on a Desert Island

    33:18|
    GB News continues to evade toothless regulatory bodies and Pete’s dad continues to tune in.

  • One Question for the Boss

Luke had a few tricks up his sleeve in New Zealand.Finally, there’s a battery and some train stations to have a look at.Send us your latest stories, questions and comments here: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com.
  • Yes, Captain Kidney
