Listen again and podcast links – Sat 28th March 2009

The new podcast is now up on iTunes (although they seemed to have labelled it ‘AdamAndJoe: Nectar Party 28 Feb 09‘)

The iTunes show description meta seems to be truncuated too (I guess it must be limited to 256 characters):

Welcome to the longest and juiciest podcast ever with Adam and Fernando. Text The Nation looks at the efforts you take to change your social status. Adam sees the Queen, Admiral Cornballs lifts the lid on shell fish torture and the chaps plan a nectar p

On this week’s Adam and Joe show:

• Text the Nation was "things you did to appear cool as a kid"
• Adam spots the Queen’s motorcade whilst out on his bike, and Joe gets Fergie Fever
• Joe deconstructs The Apprentice, and Adam’s answerphone message to a former contestant is ignored
• Joe is particularly pleased that a listener thinks he looks like Fernando Torres. Joe himself thinks he looks like Salacious B Crumb, whilst Adam christens Joe "rip nips"
• Adam talks about his mammoth Nectar Points collection and suggests having a Point Party at the Sainsburys Nine Elms store for listeners – paid for by his massive collection :)
• A+J also reveal they’ll be doing their show in a few weeks from the Camden Crawl…

View the tracklisting from the 28/03/09 show

The BBC listen again is available until 1:02pm Saturday 4th April 2009

Adam and Joe are the number one show on BBC 6Music!

Last month there was a revealing article written by John Plunkett on MediaGuardian.co.uk that stated The Adam And Joe Show was the most listened to radio show on BBC 6Music!

Adam and Joe outperforming George Lamb on BBC 6Music

The good news for George Lamb is that he is BBC 6Music’s most popular weekday DJ. The less welcome news is that his morning show peaks with just 40,000 listeners, according to statistics on digital radio listening seen by MediaGuardian.co.uk.

Lamb, one of former BBC Radio 2 and 6Music controller Lesley Douglas’s most controversial signings, might be top of the weekday pops but he does not have the station’s number one show.

That accolade goes to Saturday morning pairing Adam Buxton and Joe Cornish, who attract a maximum of 69,000 listeners between 11am and 11.30am.

If you’re a stats junkie the article is full of interesting figures:-

I’m sure the actual A+J listener total is a lot higher, with many choosing to use the BBC’s Listen Again feature on the iPlayer, subscribing to the weekly podcast via iTunes or downloading the show as an mp3 captured by fans and posted to forums like Pilkipedia

I’d love to see Adam and Joe have a shot at the breakfast show on BBC Radio 1. What are your thoughts, feel free to leave your comment :)
