Chatabix
Keep It Light Media / Big Oval Plate
Comedians Joe Wilkinson & 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. Joe likes adventuring and is obsessed with the podcast charts. Sometimes they'll embark on a day out podding together just so they can get out of the house. It's a brilliantly chaotic podcast which occasionally covers regular topics like TV Reviews, Snooker, Canal boating and Music.

S12 Ep 619 Listener’s Mailbag: A Letter From Oz and Pot Smokers
It’s Mailbag time! And Joe kicks off the show with a very special letter from a Chatabix listener in Australia about Ronnie Barker. That’s followed by messages about an embarrassing encounter with an American sports legend, another littering story, a whole bunch of emails from pot smokers and a load more quips. Lovely!

S12 Ep 618: TV Joe’s Straight Road Of Fibs Quiz
It’s about that time for some more TV Joe - and for this episode he’s brought a brand new quiz with him. Essentially, it’s a copy of the Bridge Of Lies TV game show - but with a twist. So there’s David answering questions about Chortle comedians, Joe trying to remember Chatabix episode titles and the two of them battling it out over true or false Patreon's names. Plus, there’s also time for some TV reviews and a couple of sports quizzes from David too. It’s a right quiz-a-thon!

S12 Ep 617: David At The Gym and The Gladiators
After joining the gym a while back, David’s finally started using it and Joe wants to know how he’s getting on. As you might expect, David’s a little reluctant to speak about it - but Joe tries his best anyway and we do eventually get some details. Then, in a clever avoidance move, David starts talking about The Gladiators, which he’s loving at the moment. And before you know it, they’ve invented a quiz about the show to test how much of a fan David actually is.

S12 Ep 616: The Countdown Set and Listing Celebrity Sightings
Joe’s still in Manchester, filming for Cats Does Countdown. So in this episode, David tries to get Joe to tell him about the famous Countdown set and what exactly happens during a recording of the show. Joe’s a little over-tired though, so isn’t particularly receptive to David’s questioning. But when the subject of all the famous people he’s seen at the studios comes up, the two of them get much more animated. So they them embark on a game of ‘Celebrities I’ve Seen’, which last for the rest of the episode.

S12 Ep 614: Saying Hi To Colin Jackson
Joe’s been filming in Manchester for the past few days and with so much going on there, he wants to use today’s episode to tell David everything that’s happened. Well, that was the plan. But when he kicks things off with an embarrassing story about saying hello to Olympic-star Colin Jackson in his hotel restaurant, things very quick get de-railed. After a bit of digging from David, it turns out Joe’s insecurities about turning 50 are far from over and the dissecting of that takes up most of the rest of the show. Then, in a shock announcement to end things on, David reveals that he wants to start do stand-up again. We certainly didn’t see that one coming!

S12 Ep 613: Charlie Fish
David bough £55 of fish from a door-to-door salesman last night. And even though he found the fella very trustworthy and also took his telephone number - now in David’s phone as ‘Charlie Fish’ - he’s now wondering if it might have been some sort of scam? So him and Joe run though all the possibilities, before discussing a number of con-artists that Joe’s come across in the past. It’s a right old scam-fest.

S12 Ep 612: Joe on the Chris Moyles Show
After a couple of frustrating minutes texting about things they can’t talk about on the pod, David asks Joe about his recent appearance on the Chris Moyles Radio X Breakfast Show. Being such a fan of Chris, David wants to know everything about the experience and especially how Joe managed to remain so comfortable with it all. Which somewhat predictably makes Joe feel very uncomfortable for the majority of this episode.
