Canal Thursday #13 The Maiden Voyage

It’s a festive edition of messages from our listener’s Mailbag - which aren’t actually festive themselves, it’s just that we’re doing it the week before Christmas. But to mark the occasion, we’re giving away a pair of amazing Flare Audio Earphones (Chatabix Edition) to the writers of each email we read out. And we’re also giving away a few more in a little Christmas competition for our lovely Patreons. Merry Christmas!!!

The one and only Natalie Cassidy joins David and Joe for our most Christmassy Chatabix episode of the year! It’s been ages since they’ve spoke to Nat so there’s plenty of catching up to do, before the chat moves on to all matters festive. They discuss everything from putting up decorations, entertaining the family and their favourite Christmas board games, to the highs and lows being in a pantomime, some favourite moments of the year and their hopes and dreams for 2025. They simply have the most wonderful Christmas time - ho ho ho!

This week’s episode from the Chatatbix archives was a proper landmark for the show. We celebrated being number 1 in the iTunes podcast charts - and then lost confidence.

On this week’s mailbag, we get some incorrect advice about a wealthy acquaintance of David’s from Chichester, a collection of coincidences from two newlywed Chatabiscuits, The Cockfields filming locations, Port Isaac, a listener sting, musical repeats, guest recommendations and a list of names for weed.

Joe revealed recently that he’s started going to the gym regularly. And as it’s quite a change in attitude for him, David wants to know the what, where and why about it all. Which doesn’t make Joe feel particularly comfortable. What with all the chat about gyms, David also reveals that his dad was really into the whole bodybuilding scene in the 80’s and once took him to see the world's strongest man - Bill Kazmaier - training in Brighton. So we get a full run down of the Mr Universe competitions from him, and Joe watches some old footage of it too. It’s quite the muscle-flexing episode.

David’s very keen to hear all about Joe’s new hobby of bread baking, which he’s taken up in an attempt to be more wholesome with his spare time. So David hatches a lovely plan to record a cosy Bake-Off style episode and begins by asking Joe to explain exactly what’s involved, in as much detail as possible. But Joe seems strangely reluctant to get into it all. Could it be that cracks are stating to appear in his bread baking enthusiasm already???
