Podcasts of old Simon Mayo Radio 2 shoes?

Brian_Pamo

This is gonna sound really strange to some but I assure you it will certainly cheer me up and make at least me smile. 

Some years ago I used to work in an environment where the Simon Mayo show on Radio 2 was on in the afternoon. I REALLY looked forward to it. Quite boring I know but I loved that show. This week I saw a quiz where the answer was Simon Mayo Podcasts. I went away in the frame of mind that somewhere there is an archive of these shows. I know it won’t excite a lot of people but I’d love to listen to those afternoon radio shows again. So, question... is there a way I can listen to these old radio 2 shows from 10 years ago? Simon Mayo on Radio 2 around 4pm on weekdays? I know he’s now moved to a classics station but that’s not what I want. I know this is a random, possibly boring post but it’d make someone happy. 

Any advice guys?

BTW... In advance... in these bad times...MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY (COVID, CR*P FREE NEW YEAR). X

There's a few from the Confessions series here:

Some from Radio 5:

From that era there's a bunch of stuff linked on the old website:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00p2dfq - no podcasts but various clips and other audio stuff.  might be all you can get after all this time, considering Mayo hasn't been at Radio 2 for the last two and a half years.

I suspect they were talking about his current podcasts rather than old radio shows 

maybe some old stuff on here (I have never used this site)

This is the best site for what you want. If you have a smart phone can also use the app as well. You can  find literally hundreds of other djs covering all sorts on here as well. Also some users upload mix tape's too. Is a very good site/app use it all the time.
