Joe Wilkinson and David Earl's daily morning podcast
The Chatabix podcast is an entertaining and unpredictable ride from start to finish. David and Joe, despite considering themselves boring, manage to consistently deliver a hilariously engaging show. The banter and rapport between the hosts is a joy to listen to, with their give and take keeping listeners on their toes. Whether it's taking sides between David and Joe or hearing about their current projects and obsessions, there's never a dull moment on this podcast. What makes it even more impressive is their commitment to releasing episodes every morning, even when they may not feel like it. The unpredictability of each episode adds to the fun, with audio issues often adding an unexpected twist.
The best aspect of The Chatabix podcast lies in the dynamic between David and Joe. Their genuine friendship shines through as they openly share their messy thoughts and feelings without any editing or filters. This level of authenticity creates a unique listening experience that feels like joining two friends for a chat in real time. Additionally, David's infectious laughter adds an extra layer of enjoyment while Joe's obsession with "Happy Girl" brings a touch of excitement to each episode.

While some may consider the lack of structure or focus on specific topics as a drawback, it's precisely what gives The Chatabix podcast its charm. The hosts' casual approach may lead to conversations that tangent off into various directions or discussions that don't delve deeply into specific subjects. However, this conversational style also allows for spontaneity and genuine reactions that keep listeners entertained throughout each episode.

In conclusion, The Chatabix podcast is an absolute gem for fans of authentic banter and spontaneous conversations.

While it may not be the most professional or structured podcast, its charm lies in its casual approach and unpredictable nature. Each episode is an adventure of laughter, unexpected twists, and relatable discussions. So come for the banter, stay for the audio issues, and enjoy the wild ride that is The Chatabix podcast.

At first Joe and David fear they've nothing to talk about on today's show. But then Joe mentions he's just been on BBC Breakfast to discuss The Celebrity Traitors, so obviously David wants to know all about that. The talk then moves onto doing Zoom calls on TV, some belated and very out of date chat about who will win Traitors, a potential new TV show for Joe Mahler, Phil Kay in a bath tub at the top of a pole in Forest Row, prank emails, going viral and a quick check of the charts.

Before the guys start recording a new episode of One In A Million, Joe wants to tell David about his idea for a One In A Million TV gameshow. So he pitches the full concept to David but has a pretty tough time convincing him of its potential. And more importantly, will any TV execs - let alone Richard Osman - have any interest in buying and developing the show further? See what you think - could it be the new king of primetime Saturday night gameshows???

Picking up from yesterday's episode and the subject of miserable colds, Joe tells David about a reliable remedy that the comedian Mark Simmons uses to fight off the winter bugs. Then, after discussing how much they love Mark's stand-up and his brilliant and very quick off-the-cough one liners, they decide to find out if they're any good at coming up with some themselves. After a few early successes, they soon realise that it's a little harder than they thought - but plough on regardless.

As you might have noticed, there's been a distinct lack of podding at Chatabix towers for the past few weeks. But David and Joe are back and here to tell you all about what's been happening. Well, mainly suffering from various illnesses and lots of other important stuff going on in their lives at the moment. The timing of which could not have been worse, what with Joe being in Celebrity Traitors, of course. So, with only the final still left to broadcast (at the time of recording), David and Joe take the opportunity to finally catch up on their debriefs of the show. Plus, Joe's tells us his idea for an app and recounts a very odd experience he had at a recent Park Run. Apologies and advance for all the coughing and spluttering.

So instead you can expect discussions about David's old VHS copy of MMA fights, not doing much work as a petrol station attendant in the 90s, travel plans, Joe's fears of Thailand and David's long forgotten dreams about moving to Antigua.

David and Joe's chat for the first half of the episode includes podcast sponsorship, getting free stuff, abandoned hobbies, looking busy (whilst not being busy) and the smoke and mirrors involved in press releases. During all of which, Joe realises he doesn't have an actual boss and really appreciates it. He then tells David about a Direct Debit that he's unknowingly been paying for months. He reckons he's been scammed and is absolutely furious about it!

After chatting about a dream David had the previous night and Joe discovering he's much more confident recording intros to pods than the actual pods themselves - they soon realise they've nothing to talk about for the rest of the episode. So they return to discussing their new TV show and more specifically, what an emotional roller coaster ride the filming was for David. A heady mix of discomfort, then comfort, then discomfort about feeling comfortable about it - plus quite a bit of bickering with Joe too. So, all pretty much Chatabix business as usual then.

David and Joe have just finished filming their new TV series for U&Gold, which will be out next year. They've been asked by the channel to record something about it on the podcast, which can then be used as promotion for the show. So David and Joe give it their best shot to concisely explain the premise, but are predictably un-nerved by the task and soon lose confidence in themselves. That's until Joe has the idea to ask the show's producer James Fidler to join them on the Zoom call to help out with things. After which things run a lot more smoothly - thanks James!

Joe's now watched two more episodes of Clarkson's Farm - and is absolutely loving it! So he and David are back to discuss even more about the show and the man himself, Jeremy Clarkson. They're both a little bit in awe of him but are now seriously regretting having a go at his Top Gear and Grand Tour shows. And wonder if they've blown their chances of him ever wanting to be a guest on Chatabix. Later in the show, they imagine what it would be like to appear on Clarkson's Farm themselves and also come up with a plan to teach him about podcasting.

As you might well know, David is a fully committed member of the Clarkson's Farm fan club - he thinks it's just wonderfully cosy TV.

David's recently discovered an ‘Exit Survey' on the Chatabix Patreon account - which is a list of reasons both positive and negative that listeners have submitted when un-subscribing. So naturally he reads some of them to Joe. It's all very revealing and leads them to think about what exactly listeners what from the pod. Then, in a complete change in direction, they decide to read some more One In A Million stories. It's a bit of a mixed bag and they almost give up at one point, but thankfully there's a few great ones in there to keep their spirits up.

It's recently come to light that the wonderful actor Mark Bonnar appeared alongside David in his infamous Inspector Lynley Mysteries scene. So Joe, being a friend of Marks, has asked him to come on the pod to give his impression of how David behaved on the day. Was he really as nervous, time-waisting and rubbish at acting as David believes? The only problem is that Mark's suddenly had to cancel and re-schedule the chat. So Joe and David take the opportunity to have a deep-dive into the whole Inspector Lynley experience - so much so that they had to make this episode a 2-parter. Part two coming tomorrow… Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

David kicks things off by telling Joe about the lovely old man he met walking on Dartmoor the other day. But also how the man thought David was about 57, which didn't go down so well. This leads both David and Joe to talking about their aging and looking older too. Then it's onto old jobs and the time David worked as a runner in Soho - and how David really does't like London. So there's lots of chat about David's many issues with the city and how he was pretty scared of Plumstead when he lived there. But eventually, after talking through the pros and cons, both of them realise that they actually quite like London and decide to celebrate it instead. Well, celebrate bits of it at least.

And some nice ones too, of course. Joe's not 100% sure it's a good idea to do it on the pod - but is intrigued enough to give it a go. So settle in for half an hour of listener's moans, compliments and complaints - it's like Points Of View for podcasting.

There's lots to get through on today's jam-packed episode. Firstly, Joe and David are starting filming on a new project tomorrow and David's beginning to feel very anxious about it. Meanwhile, Joe was asked a pretty big favour from someone he doesn't really know and is now feeling resentful about it. Then David reveals that over the weekend he met a man at the beach who he really got on with - and was then quickly dumped by him. Also, David has finally watched an episode of Grand Designs so he and Joe can now discuss the show and there's some more chat about weed smoking.

David's been up to his sneaky house-viewing tricks again - and this time, he and Naomi loved the house and also the old couple who owned it. So Joe grills him once more about the what and why of it all and David ponders how big the decisions are when trying to find a new house. Then Joe wants to tell David about a really ‘laddie' environment he found himself in recently and that even though he found it quite uncomfortable, he was determined not to join in. He reckons it's a new-found confidence since turning 50.

After the success of our recent episode reading out listener's One In A Million stories - it's time to do it again. So, a little unsure as to whether the quality will remain as high, David and Joe tentatively prepare for yet more amazing tales of bizarre flukes and very strange co-incidences. But they needn't have worried, as amongst this week's great selection of yarns is a very lucky casino win, a shop fire whist under the influence, a night-time encounter with a flying fish and repeat customers for a cabbie.

We kick off today's show with more health and fitness chat - mainly about the mileage David does on his Peloton and the salad he had for lunch yesterday. Then David reveals to Joe that over the weekend that he and Naomi went out knocking on a few more doors of houses for sale, again without the all-important estate agent appointment. So Joe decides to get to the bottom of David's reasoning behind such bold move. Plus, we find out how Joe is settling into his new house and if it feels like home yet, question whether are our episode lengths are too long and have a quick check of the charts.

For today's topics of conversation, Joe suggests the strange jet of saliva that comes out of his mouth occasionally and an idea about opening a picture framing shop. But David would rather talk about the inch worm - a new exercise he's doing as part of his morning workout. Which leads him to talk about losing weight and getting a flat stomach - yes, again. Plus, Joe's biscuit addiction, what it'd be like to have Justin Hawkins body, David's Pelaton statistics and a big tattoo of the Red Arrows.
