Can’t believe the show has been dropped. The best of the best is coming to an end sadly 😭 The countdown has truly begun and we’re down to last 4 shows. I don’t know what I’ll do with my Saturday mornings from now on. Please tell me another station is wise enough to pick these awesome threesome...Read full review »

An end of an era. Something that been on the wane since dearly departed Gareth left the show in my mind, but on occasion still rose to great heights of clever humour. For us no more Snooty Loubouty, Pierre, and Frank (though I won’t miss the ever increasingly insufferable indulgence and...Read full review »

Best podcast in my rotation - and going for 15 years! I hope they find a new platform; the content is unfailingly witty and a highlight of my week.

How can you axe your best performing show in the podcast charts?? Madness!

Can’t believe this show hasn’t been renewed. What a ludicrous decision. Will be following you to your new home.

I’ve listened to the podcast for 15 years.Frank is a diamond and as entertaining as ever.Absolute are making a huge mistake, but it’ll be to the benefit of whoever picks up his show next.I never listen to any other Absolute show anyway,and their treatment of Frank will prevent me from tuning in...Read full review »

Do it just as a podcast, who needs the radio?

Can’t believe Frank is being dropped! Great radio show! Will tune in to wherever you go next…

Started listening a couple months ago after reading Frank’s book and seeing him in the west end. It’s a real shame it’s stopping.
PaulE_27 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/08/24
It’s really mind blowing to see that no matter how good you are, you can be cancelled. I guess the hordes of listeners that have tuned in for the last 15years are of no value to Absolute radio?

Hi, I’ve been listening to Frank’s show for years and feel totally gutted that it’s coming to an end. This show makes me belly laugh and Frank just has funny bones. Being from the Black Country myself his recollections of the past strike a cord with me and make me smile. Frank, Emily and Pierre...Read full review »

Please please please continue this podcast after the Absolute show ends. The readers demand it!
Julie She via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/07/24
Please find a new home. Pierre joining Frank has been a joy!

I’m absolutely gutted hearing the show has been axed. I’ve been a loyal listener for the last 12 odd years, I wasn’t a great fan of Frank before I got into his radio show, I only liked Skinner and Baddiel together. However after listening to his show on Saturday mornings I now regard him as a...Read full review »

Cannot believe Absolute are cancelling the best show on the radio…I have laughed many times at this funny and witty show over the years. I feel I’m losing Frank and the gang as friends, only hope another radio show snaps them all up and gives them the respect they deserve.

Ageism… prejudice or discrimination on the grounds of a person’s age. Appalling decision to axe this show.
Cheekoss Roy. via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/05/24
Intelligent, interesting & funny conversation. What a loss.
Drythorp via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/05/24
This is the only show I listen to on Absolute Radio and have done for years. We can only hope someone picks up the podcast (and why wouldn’t you as it’s always in the top list of most listened to podcasts). Frank is a wise and funny voice in this crazy dark world and we need him to continue to...Read full review »

Devastated this show is being axed. Have listened for years. It’s a tonic. Such kind, funny and intelligent chat. I don’t know why Absolute have made this decision when it remains after 15 years so popular. Crazy.
Ky77Brighton via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/03/24
For many reasons cancelling Frank and the team is a move to benign. This is the ONLY radio show I take time to listen to. It’s honest, controversial, laugh out loud funny and speaks to a variety of readers. The tone is inclusive and never talks down, most generic hosts speak in a way that would...Read full review »

I love love this show. I look forward to it every week. Frank and the team are brilliant together and so funny. I love the stories they share and have me laughing out load often. There is no other show like this. I’m tremendously sad Absolute have made this ludicrous decision to end this show....Read full review »

I am deviated at the decision of absolute by removing the most funny, relaxing podcast I have ever listened to. I have shown loyalty and listened to every episode. Agism is horrific.Please reconsider Absolute! All of us want it forever!
Fabulous and five star!!! via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/31/24
I love this show, I am so disappointed it is going to end. I hope someone else takes it on. A very funny show and I always look forward to listening - gutted!

Can’t believe the show is being axed, Frank Skinner is a legend and so so funny. Whoever made this decision at Radio X really needs to think again, it’s their best show.
a/n/d/y via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/31/24
Have listened to the podcast for many years and am devastated to hear it will end. I feel it did have a blip when Alun left and it lost some of its down to earth quality, but nevertheless I continued to listen. IMO Frank is the best comic presenter on radio and often has moments of brilliance...Read full review »

I love this show and cannot believe absolute radio have not renewed contacts. Will there be any radio hosts over 50

Goodbye Absolute Radio
@AlfGarnettTil via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/30/24
Have listened since the first episode and to the podcast for all the missed ones. Frank & Emily work so well together. The 3 other comedians have always worked well in the group. Very sad they’ve been dropped. Hope another network takes them on asap.
Indierugby via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/28/24
Please don’t cancel show
pcdvibe via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/28/24
Devastated to lose this podcast, love the team, love Frank and have listened loyally for many years. The only Absolute radio show I listen to. Will be hugely missed
teenbaker via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/27/24
I am in shock and still struggling to process the fact that soon this show will be no more. Please Absolute, rethink this decision; why throw away the funniest show on radio? I hope the podcast archive will remain so this fantastic show can still be enjoyed.

I can’t believe absolute are ending this podcast 😭 , listening is like sitting down with life long friends and having a cup of tea , warm ,cosy and comforting and you have a laugh setting the world to rights , I love the banter between Pierre, frank and Emily , listening is such a tonic, it fills...Read full review »

This show went downhill after Alun left a couple of years ago with no mention! Not surprised the show is now being axed….Quick, get Alun back to save it.
Jules~B via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/25/24
Devastated, best thing on the radio, Saturdays won’t be the same :’ (
beauxs lyon via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/24/24
Great radio show by a witty, sardonic, clever, - surreal sometimes - comic. Absolute radio extremely foolish to lose him. Go Frank and find a new home quickly.
knotapp via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 03/24/24
Bye bye Frank. About time. 👏
whitstable Speno via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/23/24
Oh no. I am bereft- I can’t imagine not having a new episode of the podcast to listen to. It’s been a part of my life for ages and God, I going to miss you Frank, Emily and Pierre. Apologies for sounding melodramatic
sarahsingergray via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/23/24
I love listening to this podcast from the Saturday morning show. It is excellent and so funny. Can’t believe that Frank’s contract hasn’t been renewed. Such a shame and a misguided decision. Who came up with this idea??? Hopefully another radio station will scoop him up.
katfran14 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/23/24
So sad to hear Frank is leaving Absolute… been listening for 12 years - nothing else is as funny. Will miss this - someone get them a new podcast deal quick!
daedalusisdead via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/23/24
I hope Frank takes more vitamins because when he is away it is a massive hole and a big disappointment! No disrespect to Emily but Frank is irreplaceable, a finely tuned entertainment machine.
Andy the lumberjack via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/09/24
Get Frank back, this Emily Dean show is so annoying 🙉
Radfordred via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/19/24
My family loves listening to this 😊

I’ve been listening to this show for years. Genuinely look forward to it every week. Best show on radio!

why make this podcast ! utter boredom

Emily still waffling on....
ikus75 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/22/24
Still brilliant, still the best! Frank, you’re a legend! Emily, I love your style! Pierre, everyday is a school day! 🙏
tamarasmiff via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/06/24
More poetry podcasts, Frank. The fun chatter here is like eavesdropping a goofy and witty dinner party at a tavern restaurant, but your poetry podcast is truly transcendent. Here’s hoping for more poetry on the other show!
