The Podfather, part 1

In less than a year, The Ricky Gervais Show has taken the world of podcasting by storm. Rarely, if ever, out of the download charts, a Guinness World Record and over 8 million downloads, and counting. It's nothing short of a phenomenon.

Guardian Unlimited have three special free shows from three doyens of podcasting - multi-award winning Ricky Gervais and Steve Merchant (The Office, Extras) plus the round-headed idiot savant, Karl Pilkington.

Today, for Halloween, we bring you the Podfather, Part 1. Ghostly drivel abounds as Steve consults a text-based oracle, Karl experiences a kidney probing, Steve visits Bristol, Karl becomes a Godfather and Ricky tells of some lighter moments at the morgue. Plus a competition to win CDs and books signed by podcasting's top triumvirate.

Click here to download today's free show.
