Discover the world’s most popular podcast, The Ricky Gervais Show presented by Ricky Gervais, Steve Merchant and the previously unemployed Karl Pilkington.

Ricky Gervais, the comedian behind The Office and Extras is the king of making idol banter seem like the funniest thing you’ve ever heard. We all like to eavesdrop on someone else’s conversation at the next table in the bar and watch reality television because its real, this feels like reality podcasting of three guys round a table with a beer chatting, except Gervais does nothing by chance and the carefully crafted scripts which are nonchalant yet very funny are presented in a style to make you feel right at home.

Ricky and co. discuss all manner of things from trips abroad and why they wouldn’t go anywhere that involved having injections, personal hygiene, metaphysical conundrums to the rising stardom of Pilkington who has grabbed the limelight with such comments as; “Issac Newton did not contribute much to human civilization as discovering gravity did not affect us as it had always been there anyway. Had everyone been floating about then he would rightfully deserve the amount of credit he receives” and his now infamous catchphrase “I could eat a knob at night”, might sound dull but you would be wrong. If you only listen to one podcast this year, then The Ricky Gervais Show is the one that deserves your precious bandwidth.

Currently top of the iTunes podcast list and pencilled in for a spot in the Guinness Book of Records as the most downloaded podcast, catch this first series of 12 podcasts while you can and then like the rest of us wait eagerly for next run due later in the year.

Simply the best.
