The Jon Richardson Show on Absolute Radio

Suzi Ruffell joins us - and it's lucky she does, because Jon is very tired and needs a bit of help getting through complicated things like reading out email addresses. We have more criminal activity for the literal police to deal with, and Suzi is ruffling some feathers - probably just Jon's, but let us know how you feel - [email protected]

It's our spooky, sparkly and occasionally spiky Halloween show! Angela Barnes is back with a hoary horror yarn - but is it true? Jon has been plugging the show on TV again, there is an outstanding listener pun, and we put another national treasure into literal prison. You can contribute whenever you like - just email [email protected].

(Joust Kidding!) It's the difficult 101st show, made so much easier by the presence of Angela Barnes who has a tale from the southbound Warwick Services on the M40. Jon has a book out, and displays a hitherto unrevealed talent for poetry, although his art leaves something to be desired. Plus there are literal crimes to deal with from Andy Bush, Zoe Lyons and Remi Burgz. We do love receiving your feedback - email [email protected]

Welcome one and all to Jon Richardson's grand celebration - featuring Lindsey Santoro, Suzi Ruffell and Angela Barnes (in spirit, if not in person). We have the usual features, plus added Nosecco and vegan cake. Please do get involved, your emails are always welcome - [email protected]

Jon and Angela are back again, and this week as usual we'll be dealing with more criminal activity with the Literal Police, and Angela has the opposite of an uplifting yarn - but is it true? Plus for podcast listeners a bonus service as we provide a full itinerary for your day in London for Absolute Radio Live. The starting point may surprise you! (It surprised us.) Get in touch any time you like - [email protected]

... if he didn't want you to shake them. Jon is back with Angela Barnes and this week she spins a yarn about a nefarious book thief. We ask the audience 'what is the movie quote you use all the time', and we also talk about USB cords and the extremes you'll go to when you need the loo. Contribute at any time! [email protected]

... and a sycophantic Swiss Roll. This week Lindsey Santoro is back to add a dollop of chaos into Jon's life. Along with the usual fun we analyse Jon's performance sat next to Nigella Lawson on the TV, the literal police have their hands full with the first episode of Strictly, and it's Jon's birthday but he doesn't like to talk about it. Do get in touch if you have been affected by any of the issues raised in this episode - [email protected] - and join us next Saturday from 8am on Absolute Radio.

(What am I going to do?) This week Lindsey Santoro joins Jon for a wide ranging, some might say meandering discussion about Jon's inability to flirt effectively, the somewhat worrying contents of Lindsey's handbag, and the literal police deal with multiple infractions. Contact us any time at [email protected]

This week, Jon and Suzi Ruffell have an awkward disagreement about equine measurement, the listeners help Jon a little bit with ideas for his gig at Absolute Radio Live, and the Literal Police have mixed results with their conviction rate. If you like the podcast, why not join us next Saturday morning from 8 on Absolute Radio?

On this week's festival of jokes, japes and great tunes, Angela Barnes joins us once again to analyse fat Marmots, the effect of fizzy kimchi and whether Angela's yarn about a comedian who lived happily ever after can possibly be true. We'll also be banging up some repeat offenders in literal prison, and Jon has a request for his listeners. If you love this - why not listen while it happens, live? Every Saturday morning from 8am on Absolute Radio.

Jon and Angela are back, after a week off, to brighten up your Saturday morning.

They'll be finding out who has kept on to the naffest certificate across the country, and giving verdict another radio presenter in the literal police.

Plus, Angela's Yarns returns, as Jon figures out whether she is telling the truth or spinning a yarn...

Jon and Angela are back with your emergency Saturday morning alert. We have listeners' suggestions for what emergency text message they would send to the entire country, Jon stands up for an iconic 80s band, we have a bumper crop of Literal infractions, and Angela Barnes spins another Yarn, but is it true? Play along at home, and let us know if there's anything you'd like to add by emailing [email protected]

This Week Lindsey Santoro joins us and completely fails to get excited about her Edinburgh Show. Jon recounts his 'big lads' break to Amsterdam, we remember the Summer of 1996 and more miscreants are put in the Literal Jail. If you've got something to contribute, drop Jon an email - [email protected]
