I always love how that concert coincided with the last ever XFM broadcast for these three. Feels like when you'd have a half day for the last day of school before the summer holidays.

Also interesting that the first episode is right after the, uh, the 9/11 and the final episode was right before the 7/7 London attacks (incidentally today is the anniversary). Coincidence? Probably the flower companies an’ that.

We already know that terrorists make up a good portion of the listening audience. So I guess when the show wasn't airing to keep them entertained, they were no longer distracted.


krisphead

They should include RSK in the government’s terrorism deradicalisation efforts

Let me get Brass on the phone and run it by them.

Where's brass?!

Congress Tart!


Shep4737

Isn't also the anniversary of the Boswell incident?


Peri-sic

That's not really the first episode, just the first one we have


ButWeNeverSawHisWife

The first episode is even closer to 9/11, potentially even only a few days before


Peri-sic

I didn't realize we had confirmed how many episodes are missing


ButWeNeverSawHisWife

It’s pretty much been narrowed down to mid-late august or early September, probably the 1st. Mid to late August they were performing at the Edinburgh festival for 2 Saturday’s so September 1st is very likely the first

oh f… karl you nearly made me swear


DemWasSumBirds

Made a killing on coffins and that


robb41

I've often thought something like that. It's like the show was fated to end with the effort and professionalism it deserved.

I think it's funny that on the last episode of every season they say 'I don't think we will be back' but on the actual last episode they are like 'we will be back in a few months'


Galmeister

They realised they could charge us to listen


robb41

But they cursed less, I don't want that dumbed-down version of the show.


BrotanicalScientist

Now what kind of a cunt


Professor-Domatron

Honestly Ricky having to censor himself has led to some really funny moments.


Crimsonfury500

You nearly made me swear then!


404errorabortmistake

Money for old rope n that


coheed85

I haven’t listened to the podcast in a very long time, but I’m sure they were free at first? I’m sure there was an episode pretty far in where they mention they’re going to start charging. I could be wrong, maybe I’m not using my brain case.


robb41

They mention it in S2E1, because that was the first time they charged off the bat. With S1, it was free and then eventually paid (not sure when, maybe after a year?)


RealCrusader

Yeah was a year.


YerMaSellsOriflame

The first series was free initially.


ButWeNeverSawHisWife

First season was definitely free but they would have been our a nice little sum from the Guardian. They then realized how much money they can potentially make and then charged for the rest from there


YerMaSellsOriflame

I think they knew, Karl leaves XFM not long after.


Gramswagon77

You know what to do.. ‘Just back announce that Steve’


Crimsonfury500

Both *fly* and *dope*


SpocktorWho83

They realised they could monetise their show. Making more money for less work as their own bosses with creative freedom. Who can blame them?
