Season Two of Big John At Breakfast Fridays  

Big John At Breakfast - FRIDAYS - SEASON TWO IS COMING! Friday February 20th. This is a taster of what to expect. (I mean, it's just the same old toxic word-salad of time-wasting.  But slightly longer.) Actually, it's really good.     Support the podcast AND get a shout for you or a mate on the Friday Song: https://bigjohnatbreakfast.co.uk Join the FREE VIP Email gang:  https://big-john-at-breakfast.sender.site Follow us on Facebook for updates everyday: https://www.facebook.com/BigJohnAtBreakfastFridays Got a smart speaker?

Season 2 of Big John at Breakfast Friday is coming on Friday 20th February. Now, let’s be clear. It won’t be a sensible reboot. It will not be stripped back. It will not suddenly become classy. Some of the same old rubbish will absolutely still be there. Updates and catch-ups from Liesl, James and myself. Coffee Girl will return. People not having affairs, and the Gospel Friday song will return. Obviously. But season two is going bigger. Louder. Longer. Even More Friday. Whatever that actually means. We are throwing everything at it. Expect a much longer show. Expect Mum’s Catalogue Game. Expect emails from our listener in a thing called Honesty 26. Expect throwback epic fail calls that probably should never be heard again but will be anyway. Basically, if it’s ever caused chaos, laughter or mild concern, it’s probably in there. It all starts on February 20th. You are officially invited. Please spread the word. Make sure you are following in your podcast app. Post it on your socials. Shout it into the void. Now, today, while we’re not here, we decided to put out one of our best ever shows. There was a huge debate about which one it should be. Which episode deserved a second outing? And then we realised we haven’t actually listened back to any of them, so this is, if I’m honest, a fairly random choice. That said, it has had our biggest ever downloads. Another chance to hear The truth behind what really happened at Hallam FM. The Questions and Answers special podcast.
