TalkSport Confirms Russell Brand And Noel Gallagher Show

















EDIT: I will find the correct time for this, as I have heard mixed reports of it being 9PM and TalkSport have not yet updated the schedule for Sunday.

TalkSport has confirmed that Russell Brand will make a return to radio with a new football show co-hosted with Noel Gallagher.

Brand, who quit BBC Radio 2 last October following the 'Sachsgate' scandal, will initially appear in a one-off show with Gallagher, entitled Brand and Gallagher, on Sunday 19 April from 9am-11am (UK).

The duo will tackle some of the biggest football stories of the season so far from both on and off the pitch, while adding their own irreverent twist to the latest team news, results and fixtures.

TalkSport programme director Moz Dee said: "TalkSport welcomes Russell back to radio. He's a unique talent who understands the medium brilliantly, and together with Noel Gallagher, it'll be a must listen. Both are proper football fans who just happen to be two of the most creative minds in popular culture."

Dee added that he hoped to secure the duo on a more regular basis.

Brand and Gallagher first struck up and on-air comradeship on Brand's award-winning Saturday Night Show on BBC Radio 2 in 2007, when Brand tracked down the Oasis guitarist by phone for almost every episode.

The show ran for over two years with each episode attracting around 300,000 listeners.
