Podcasts:
Geoff rounds off the week by celebrating the start of the 6 Nations Rugby. Well sort of, what actually happens is we talk about cauliflower ear, and then move on to other strangely-named ailments. Also, Annabel gets strangers to sing in London, no mean feat...
As it's Thursday, Geoff and Annabel are joined by columnist and writer Lucy Mangan, to decide which stories should be preserved in an airtight vessel for eternity, and saved for our ancestors in 3015, and which should be subject to a revisionist purge, and lost forever.
Today is Wednesday, as it is every seven days (as long as it's Wednesday when you say that). Anyway, as it's Wednesday, Chris Hewitt from Empire magazine joins Geoff to discuss what to watch at the pictures, and also on the telly.
On Tuesdays, Geoff likes to get a guest in to have a chat with. Today, that guest was comedian Jarred Christmas, and chat they did. Which is lucky, because otherwise it would have made for pretty poor radio.
Mind Expanding Monday this week brings guest Johann Hari into the studio, to talk about global drugs policy and why the war on drugs might soon be coming to an end.
Apparently negative thinking isn't such a bad thing after all, so says Oliver Burkeman. He's chatting to Geoff about his new book
She's wonderful, funny and likes swimming in cold water, Josie Long came in to talk to Geoff about her new show Cara Josephine, as well as jellyfish stings, school trips and finding mobile phones at festivals.
Today is a Friday that happens to be the 46th anniversary of the Beatles playing their last gig on top of the Apple Corps building in London. It's also the 50th anniversary of Winston Churchill's funeral. And one day, it'll be the 75th anniversary of this podcast being published. Time - what's that all about then eh?
Today Geoff and Annabel are joined by comedian and writer Tiff Stevenson, to decide which stories from the week should be added to the Hometime time capsule, and saved for future generations, and which stories we should destroy, thus protecting those way off in the year 3015.
Wednesday means many things to many people - for some it symbolises the point where the week starts to slide inexorably towards the weekend, for others it's bath night, but for US, it's the night Geoff talks to Chris Hewitt from Empire magazine, about movies and telly and all that sort of thing.
Today is Tuesday, which is a day when Geoff invites a guest on the show, and for those of you who chose not to read the title of this podcast, today's guest is the very wonderful and equally funny Josie Long, who has a show that we all think is brilliant.
Another Monday brings another chance to expand your mind, and this week Geoff talks to Oliver Burkeman, who shows us that positive thinking isn't all it's cracked up to be - perfect for us pessimistic Hometime folk...
This week Geoff went on an urban ramble with John Rogers who wrote "This Other London - adventures in the overlooked city", listen to their walking chat in full, it's got loads of interesting facts about London, and tips for exploring your area wherever you are. Plus if you're in the London are there's a map on our Facebook page, why not go follow the route yourself whilst listening!
One of the loveliest men is Dermot O'Leary and he came in this week to chat to Geoff about the NTAs, his love life and how to know when he doesn't like contestents on X Factor. After that, hear one of the funniest women, Sara Pascoe chatting to Geoff
Geoff rounds off the week as only he knows how - by hosting a slightly shorter than normal edition of the Hometime Show, full of nice things that'll make you laugh, smile and perhaps even demonstrate other emotions too.
