This is a global original podcast.

Hello and welcome to the latest episode of full disclosure.

A podcast conceived at least in part to allow me to spend more time with people that I've always wanted to meet.

Although this week's guest doesn't fit into that category.

Not because I haven't always wanted to meet him, but because we exchange cheery greetings most mornings. Yeah. Chris Moyles is here, Radio Legend and current presenter of the Radio X Breakfast Show. Hello, James. Hello. Can we begin at the beginning? Sure. You hardly ever do interviews. Yeah. Why? Because I talk on the radio six days a week and I have a podcast. It's enough.

Yeah, where people would be interviewing me.

The tabloids were very different.

The papers were very different to how they are now.

And stuff that was written about, the daily mail when they would write about my show,

you would think I was the Antichrist on the radio.

And they would, I would sit in meetings after the radio show on Radio One and go,

I wish the show was as outrageous and wow as they make it out to be
