With the UK still in the vice-like grip of corona chaos Les and Dod bravely battle to bring you some respite from flat earth loonballs who refuse to wear a mask in a shop with two hours calming chat, hilarious comedy, ill thought out game show concepts and the odd tune here and there. And all for sweet F.A. Enjoy.

The first proper full blown episode of Old Jock Radio since the lockdown began in March. Steve Mason sees fit to grace the studio with his presence completing what over the years has come to be known as the "OJR Dream Team". Two full hours of laughs, chat, music and sketches all free to you at the push of a button. Can't be bad.

Les in his tenth day of isolation in the OJR studio manfully struggles with the help of the wonderful listeners to create a one man two hour event to lift our hearts in this most difficult time.

Les, Dod and pals are back with a cracking two hours of utter mayhem to help blow those January blues out the door. Nothing much has changed, Dod hates Plum, Plum hates Melissa, Melissa hates Hollywood and everybody hates Les. Settle back, pull up a cheese board and strap in. It's OJR 2020 style.

Yes its the show that we've all been waiting for. The Old Jock Radio Christmas Spectacular. Join us as a packed studio kick back with Les and Dod as they bring two hours of hilarious festive fun with sketches, features and other yule tide themed stuff as. It's pretty much Christmas chaos to be honest. Live music from Sarah Banjo. It's the only podcast you'll need this festive season. Honest.

The lads are back from holiday full renewed vigor and with a lust for creating heart stopping radio. They are joined in the studio by long time OJR fan "Gav Hallam" for japes galore. A cracking show with all your favorite features that goes somewhat off the rails when a jug of real West Country cider is opened with hilarious results. Not for the faint hearted.

Another cracking OJR show this week as things went right to the wire with a broken computer and show preperation paired down to a bare minimum. Luckly Dod rides to the rescue with a soiled canvas bag full of funnies and a cheeky slightly scary grin. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Another cracking two hours of whimsey in the company of Scotland's funniest off the cuff radio presenters. Sit back in your most comfy chair, crack open a can of sausage meat and let the good times roll.

Gentle Les and Daft Dod kick back and try to relax in this classic two hander show. All your favourite features plus stuffed to the gunnels with sketches, songs and loads of other things that didn't work.

A beautifully chaotic show when Les and Dod welcome Plum and listener Peatz into the unbearably hot studio for laughs and fruit cocktails. Scratchcard challenge for once reaps a well deserved reward as the good times flow in this belter of a show. Enjoy.

In this special show Les and Dod celebrate being back on the air for one year without major injury. A cast of thousands bow down and worship our dear leaders with gifts of cash and food.

Old Jock Radio from the 6th of July 2019 in all it's flawed glory. Les and Dod welcome the legendery "Sky Tusk" and pals into the studio unwittinly unleashing a wave of chaos throughout OJRland. A great fun show lurching from madness to genuis and everywhere in between. Enjoy (and donate).

Another classic show from October 2010 with OJR favourite Steve Mason. This week Les and Steve discuss computer games, the elephant man and death. To be honest I have only heard a tiny bit of this so anything could be on there. See you in court. An early recording so it might sound not quite as good as we would have liked.

A classic show from October 2010 where brave Les takes his life in his hands and allows one of the fanatical listeners to come on and actually present a show. This time it was the turn of the very lovely Gavin Hallam. An early recording so it might sound not quite as good as we would have liked.

A cracking show from Saturday the 22nd of June featuring all your favorite stuff and some brand new crazy audience driven features to make your toes curl with joy.

A New show from 25th May 2019 where Les & Dod bring you all your favorite features. Scratch Card Challenge, crazy calls, poetry, sketches and much more. This week the lads are joined by conceptual artist Scott Hawkins and his hand build instuments making what can be only described as a "racket".

Early Show from March 2005. Occasionally I would forget to hit record at the start of the show and we would end up with a chunk missing at the begining and as such the show would never be heard of again. This is one such show. At least 15 mins are missing from the start. probably a good thing. The content of this show is still a mystery to me.

This Show from November 2005 was one of the first that we attempted to put something into it that wasn't just Steve and I trying to make each other laugh on air. Sit back and enjoy the chaos that is "Sound Track Challenge" Early show so the sound isn't always what it could be.

The very first show of 2005. These extremely early shows have a certain charm. When this show was broadcast we had so little equipment we were actually sharing one microphone. No format. Some hilarious moments, some that have made me cringe badly and some I have actually had to edit out lest we all end up in prison (only one though).

Les Bell looses his comedy control in this rough as hell very early Old Jock Radio fiasco. Not really a show more of an "event" featuring the post Beta Band pop combo "The Aliens" live in the studio causing more than a little chaos and still not grasping that for a mic to work you need to talk into it. If you are new to this then pick any other show to start your listening experience. One for the hard core OJR fan, not the casual listener. Three hours...three bloody hours.

It's March 2010 and Les has somehow locked Rich out of the OJR studio in a pathetic bid to keep the gloroius shimmering light of fame firmly fixed on himself and not have it defused onto lesser mortals. It's not going to work is it?

October 30th 2008 and Les is joined in the Studio by his good pal Professor Steven Mason. It's issues night and the lads want to get down and grapple with some serious issue based comment, throw some irons in the fire and see if anybody want's to run it up the flag pole. This is quickly forgotten and the usual unfocused rubbish prevails.

Nov 17 2005. A very early show featuring Les and Dod in good form. Highlights include A Mexican stand off between The Wombles and The Barron Knights, Dod's magazine headlines and and a phoned in Bob Dylan live review from none other than Dr Steven Mason. As this is a very early show expect unprofesionalism and dodgy sound quality. Enjoy. 

A fun filled two hours with Les and Dod getting up close and personal with hair metal nonsense "Kiss", scratchcard challenge, whats on in Scotland and tons of other stuff. The live music session is performed in the studio by the wonderful "Ancient Satelittes".

The dream team, Les, Dod and Steve Mason broadcast a special one off show during Christmas 2013 over a year after OJR shut its doors on a stunned public. Recorded and broadcast in mono.

Les Bell and Rich Bray of the Boston Brays welcome live into the studio avant guard, musicaly unpredictable, wonderful lads and lasses of "The Kazoo Funk Orchestra" with hilarious results.... Recorded and broadcast in mono.

Les and vintage regular co host "Twig" trundle though two hours of chaotic nonsense (I haven't listened to this how so anything could happen) featuring a phone call from Steve Mason in San Francisco. Recorded and broadcast in mono.

Les, Dod and royal bodyguard "Hollywood" team up to bring you a confused mix of high quality low brow "edutainment" in the style that they have become best known for. Sit back, pour yourself a cup of what floats your boat and see if you can get through the next two hours with the boys.

Les and Dod do what they do best. Communication, prevarication and reaching out across the ether in a bold attempt to bring the world togther for two short hours once a fortnight.

In this up to the minute episode Les and Dod are joined by bare knuckle boxer and man of the moment "Hollywood". It's the first show of the year and the guys are gonna make sure it's not a damp squib by using all their skills as talented broacasters and Ulitmate Fighters.

In this classic show from March 2012 Les is joined in the studio by his somewhat frightening sidekick "Hollywood" and Glaswegian funny man, Keith "he's not a funny man" Phillips. Strap in for two hours of desperation from 3 men who are old enough to know better. This episode was recorded and broadcast in mono

A classic show from 2012 featuring Les and rock legend Steve Mason as they tackle all the hard hitting issues facing the people of this once great nation. Includes the Les Bell "Square Go" special on dogging. Originally recorded and broadcast in mono.

In this classic episode from 2008 Les is joined in the studio by Edinburgh's most handsome man Keith Douglas, long time listener from Dublin Joanna and Dave "the woodsman" Woods seems to pop up somehow. Originally recorded and broadcast in mono.

Join Les and Dod as they struggle manfully through this hilarious episode after a near fatal encounter with the "Hoover Of Death" earier in the day.

It's the closest Les and Dod got to Christmas before being laid low by seasonal sicknesss. Join them wrapped in a blanket and drinking Horlicks from a rusty tin mug.

Two tramps in the shape of Eddie Cointreau and Plum turn up at the door just as we are about to go on air. Les and dod kindly let them in and treat them like normal people.

In this show from the new OJR first broadcast live on November the 10th 2018 Les and Dod welcome the "hillbilly nightmare" that is Cousin Chicken Lips into the studio to play us some songs and join in the general mayhem of the evening. Warning, show features a banjo.

In this classic show from May 2008 Les and Dod offer up to the listeners an hilarious quiz based on 50 years of classic comedy with fabulous prizes available for the winner. Nice. Recorded and broadcast in mono.

Some might say a rather regrettable show from June 2008 as Les tests Dod on his knowledge of certain aspects of some top infamous stars lifestyle. Due to age of show it was recorded and broadcast in mono.
