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.

IT'S RAINING BEN... and Sara again
Get on your knees and pray to Zeus because it's raining Sara!
In another one of their unprepared specials done mostly because another co-host had to drop out, the pair talk about Trump, touch on the subject of Trump, consider the details of Trump, and find a little time to mock Piers Morgan.
What did you expect?

IT'S RAINING BEN... and Shaun
For the first show of 2017, Ben has recruited designer, beard wearer, and man, Shaun East. Together the two tackle some questions big and some questions small. Shaun brings us a short history of 'cool' and asks wether the word has lost its meaning. Ben, for his part, asks Shaun four questions about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and three about sandwiches.
Not only that, but the weekly battle with Shia Labeouf takes an exciting turn as we venture out of the woods and come across a small village with a very high cost of living.
Gadzooks.

IT'S RAINING BEN... New Year Special!
Prime your pumps, because it's a special storm this week.
Never one to let an opportunity pass him by, Ben rounded his New Year's party pals into a radio ranch and recorded the whole thing. Expect made up songs, surprise call ins, high end cultural commentary, a teenage story about 9/11, another round of roll play, and as always plenty of final judgements.
You're welcome.

IT'S RAINING BEN... and Josh again
Duck for cover and cover yourself in ducks, because for the second time it's raining Josh!
In a show conceived and performed through a fug of winter illness, Josh and Ben attempt to set the world's wrongs right. Given the season, we've laid the debate table with a feast of good topics and even better metaphors. Can you take the Christ out of Christmas? Can you paint with all the colours of the wind? Is jelly to be encouraged? Nothing escape the coruscating gaze of our two host.
Plus two Christmas songs, one that you probably won't have heard on the radio and one that you definitely won't have heard on the radio (because Ben wrote it)
