Welcome to Episode 1 of the Not On Air Podcast — the one where we probably should’ve eased ourselves in… but didn’t.In this first episode, Peter Flanagan, Paul Orr and Stuart Banford sit down with no format, no filter and absolutely no intention of behaving like this will ever be broadcast-safe.It starts with sweets, snacks and office generosity, somehow turns into questionable observations, petty annoyances, and the kind of chat that normally only happens once the microphones are supposed to be off. There’s rambling, laughing, mild ranting and early signs that one of the lads may hate absolutely everything. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
