It happened. It really, really happened. A live broadcast (albeit with a 10 second delay), involving a metaphorical glass panel and a LIVE audience. What a beautiful thing.

This week, Russell & Matt spoke to Dr Lindsey Fitzharris about cutting people's legs off in Victorian times. Nasty. Also, Wim Hof was on the phone with advice on dealing with the (EXTREME) cold. Plus, Matt's "Forgotten Knowledge" continues to blossom.

This week, Matt was keen to dissect his recent camping experience with Russell. Is gateau a camping essential? Friend of the show Ed Stafford was on hand to clarify. Also, the lads spoke to Robert Lacey - Royal Correspondent on Netflix series, the Crown!

Celebrating 30 episodes back on-air by throwing a loving embrace around wrinkly rocker Noel Gallagher, and lobbing business ideas at former Dragon’s Den ‘Dragon’ Theo Paphitis like he’s some sort of capitalist coconut shy.

Russell is keen to dispel the idea that he keeps a foot in all faiths just to be on the safe side. Perhaps Druidry is the answer? Also, Matt's got a calming new item called "Forgotten Knowledge."

Russell, Matt and Gee tackle Egyption myths and mysteries with Graham Hancock, AI and poetry with Oscar Schwartz and the glass panel may or may not finally see it's first incumbents.

Do you like board games? Russell most certainly does. This week we heard from Hamish & Andy and found out that Matt might be from the past. Plus a chat with Tom Morgan, the real life "Up" Balloon man!

Matt is very worried about the lack of insects these days, so the team spoke to Nick Baker to find out what it all means! Also, Russell had a little accident.

Matt got the chance to speak to his crush this week; the man-legend Ed Stafford! Plus, Russell's brand new feature.... "Raising the Cultural Bar".

This week, Russell chatted to Mark Sargent and he reckons the world is flat. Then Russell started talking about an emery board again! Plus, Matt doesn't think Russell would be very good at living on the streets.

They said it wouldn't happen! One of the ideas from the show has finally been followed up! This week, we found out about Russell & Matt's heritage and it got a little competetive. Simon Amstell was on too, chatting about his (and Russell's) new book!

This week Russell, Matt & Gee spoke to Neil Harbisson: He's a real life cyborg dontcha know!? He's even got an antenna! After that - author David Collin came on to help Russell further his plan to purchase an island utopia! The Revolution is coming!

If you're of a sensitive disposition - the lads chatting to Dr Sandra Lee AKA Dr Pimple Popper might leave you a little worse for wear! Dr Rob Drummond was on the phone too and fully explained the Ninky Nonk. Plus, did you know that Gee is in a band now?

Proving the boys wouldn't survive two minutes in the wild they spoke to bush craft expert Lisa Fenton. Russell and Matt aided satirical cartoonist Brian Adcock with ideas and there was an argument over who would live in a Lighthouse.

There's been a nuclear explosion, but should we condition our hair? We get to the bottom of that conundrum, analysis the MMAS meet up, discover that Bear can do origami and a lie about a bird.

Welcome dear listener. Before the Radio X show this week Russell sat down with former Vice President of the USA, Mr Al Gore. Hear clips of that, Matt's 40th birthday plans, MMA plans and plans about funerals and why you should be thinking about your death.
