IT'S RAINING BEN... with Rowan & Ziggy

Double up your flood defences and slip on a second sou'wester, because it's our very first threeway!

When Ziggy and Rowan were asked to double team Ben, they understandably leapt at the chance. And you'll soon see why. It's a show tinged with sadness, marking the impending departure of Rowan and the at-some-point-soon departure of Ziggy, but the tinge is largely pushed aside as our heroes discuss DIY verses paying someone else and what it means to be more than welcome. Plus there's an extended and almighty period of role-play featuring "Dr" Gillian McKeith.

In every ending, a new beginning.

IT'S RAINING BEN... and Jeremy

Gather your water-prone goods and cover your fragile crops because it’s about to rain Jeremy.

This week Ben is joined by current interior designer and future author, Jeremy, for a rather different kind of show. Ever since we took on the task of solving the world’s problems, here at IRB, we’ve tackled some weighty topics. We’ve ruled on high-scent foods on public transport, the number of ways it’s possible to skin a cat, and whether John Legend is really a Legend. But for once we thought we’d take it easy and discuss the power of conscious consumerism and the devaluing of the term ‘sustainability’. Just for poops and giggles.


Don’t worry, we do some role playing with magic fish at the end.

IT'S RAINING BEN... and Sam again

Ladies and Gentlemen you'd better dress for precipitation, because it's raining Sam!

Or is it?

In our most daring episode yet, we discover what happens when the show starts and the co-host is still in bed. Will Sam make it to the studio in time with nothing to aid him but his feet, his legs, and his diehard enthusiasm for radio? You'll just have to listen in to find out.

What we can guarantee is that Ben will be doing his best to fill time by solving listener's problems, sent in live through social media. Were dinosaurs and pelicans alive at the same time? Is John Legend really a Legend? What are Ben's top ten safe words and how does he rank them? All will be revealed.
