Hey everyone, welcome to this very special pop-up podcast right here forming a bonus edition of the best of The Virgin Radio Breakfast Show with our pals at Sky.

It's a long-form conversation between myself and Russell Brand. He was awesome. I'm going to leave it there.

You'll know our next guest because quite frankly, who doesn't? He's back on the road with the live show Russell Brand 33. He's dropping podcasts left right and centre and taking over with his YouTube channel.

Five million subscribers can't be wrong. It's the comedy oracle you all know and love.

It's Russell Brand. All right, Russell!
