Do you know what happened 40 years ago this week? If it’s a no, you’d better click that play button, as all is revealed in this brand spanking new episode of The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X Podcast! This week, we kicked off the countdown to Christmas by drawing names for our annual Secret Santa, and opening the first door of some rather, shall we say, different advent calendars. Also, he’s beautiful (it’s true), James Blunt joined the team, and spilled the beans on some questionable celebrity stories that feature in his new book… We’re still in shock to be honest. Actor and Comedian Stephen Mangan popped by to talk about his new book about a reindeer called Dave, and Ian Broudie of the Lightning Seeds came in to chat about his book, album, two tours and a gig with Chris. We’re tired just thinking about all that, Ian. If all that wasn’t enough to entice you to spend the next 90 minutes of your life with us, we also had: 

• Captain Crapbeard’s new game, Would AI Lie To You
• A large delivery of milk
• Radio Beef

Enjoy!

The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X

Weekdays 6:30am-10am

This episode contains detailed discussion around mental health and self-harm. If you or someone you know has been affected by anything you hear in this episode please speak to your GP.

Dame Kelly Holmes is one of the UK’s most popular athletes. She’s a double Olympic champion. She’s a Commonwealth champion. She’s a European champion. She set and holds the British records in both the 800m and 100m races.

Growing up, Kelly struggled with school. It was her PE teacher that spotted her talent for running and encouraged her to apply herself. Kelly said that just one person believing in her had the power to turn her life around.

Her memoir ‘Unique’ has just been released – and she has bravely told her story of publicly coming out as a gay woman – from living in fear of being outed in the Army and at major sporting events to the freedom and contentment she has owning her identity and sexuality.
