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

A Cow’s a Silly Animal
23:55|Luke and Pete kick off this episode by delighting at the days getting longer. It’ll be spring before you know it, lads.Things get more controversial when Luke has his say about lager consumption alongside a curry (is it really that good of a pairing?) and the guys take a look at the curious case of Veronika the Austrian cow. She may or may not be doing wonders for the reputation of her species’ intelligence.

Is Bailey’s egg-based?
31:21|Luke’s got to come clean about his murky past: the amount of pints and chocolate eclairs he knicked while working at the Student Union. To be fair, at least he wasn’t getting high on his own pork supply like Pete was at Leicester City.
