Who's that Geoff's talking to? Why, it's only Paul McCartney off of the Beatles and Wings and just on his own as well. And what a time they have, talking about computer games, and the Beatles and, at one point, even nudity.
Geoff's guest today is Hunter Davis - the official biographer of a young band from Liverpool known as the Beatles, and he shares all manner of fascinating insights about them all, despite having had a large lunch.
There's a service that you can send your DNA to and they'll tell you all about yourself and what might make you ill in the future, but if you don't like the sound of that, don't worry- Geoff has a solution.
Geoff is back from his holidays and is joined in the studio by Geographer and comedian Mark Cooper Jones, so discuss all manner of capital cities, Benelux, and that thing where water goes down the plug hole in a different direction depending on where you're standing.
Lovingly inspired by the podcast from This American Life a new podcast from the creators of Geoff Lloyd's Hometime Show, hosted by Annabel Port. 'Serial: This British Life' investigates a real life unsolved case from 1983 that's haunted both the accuser and alleged perpetrator ever since. Just after a showing of the film ET at the Macclesfield Majestic cinema, Geoff Lloyd drew a picture. What happens next defies belief. As Annabel uncovers the evidence and interviews those involved, you can follow the startling revelations and sometimes contradictory clues until you make your own conclusions as to who is the guilty party in this riveting case.

It's the final show before Geoff goes on a bit of annual leave, but before he leaves, there's just time to make a dictionary of all the secret special words that people have in their jobs.
Geoff is back from his sickbed, and he's joined by the very wonderful Richard Herring who, amongst other matters, discusses karaoke, snooker, and using Geoff's name as a safe word.
Geoff is joined by Nir Eyal- Silicon Valley resident, and expert on how we become addicted to technology. Could this be the man to help Geoff with his Twitter addiction? Who knows- why not just listen and find out?
Eco-chef Tom Hunt joins Geoff to talk about his book The Natural Cook and to teach us how we can be more sustainable with our food, stop wasting so much, save some pennies and save the environment too
What a week it's been for robots, what with that one landing on a comet. ON A COMET- crazy! Anyway, in honour of this achievment, Geoff stars a parade of honourable robots, with all the best ones going in.
What a busy show. Why? Well I'll tell you. It was busy because as well as the normal calls and chatter, Geoff spoke to Eddie Izzard on the phone about Stand Up For Shelter, and after that he still managed to cram in a session with one of his favourite musicians- Roddy Frame from Aztec Camera.
Wooooo, spooky! It's the scariest day of the year, but Geoff and Annabel aint afraid of no ghost, so they bravely tackle the final day of their tenure on the breakfast show, playing some spooky jingles, and talking about terrifying topics.
How much would we have to pay you to eat a whole, raw street pigeon? Think about that for a second. Now listen to this, as we ask other people the same question, and I reckon you'll be surprised by how little people will ask for.
