Greg James — That's What He Said is a podcast featuring the best bits from the BBC Radio 1 drive-time show hosted by Greg James, which is broadcast live between 4-7pm, Monday to Friday. It features Greg and Newsbeat presenter Chris Smith, known on the show as "Chris Smith With the News".
It was originally announced that Greg James was to get a podcast in 2009, whilst he was presenting the Early Breakfast Show. However, this never materialized. It was again announced on 11 September 2013 that the Greg James Drivetime Show was to get a podcast. This was discussed at length on air, and Greg invited listeners to text in suggestions for the name. Ultimately, "That's What He Said" was decided on. The first episode was then released on Friday 24 October 2013, almost two months later.
The first episode of the podcast was released on 24 October 2013 and since then episodes have been released once a week on Friday afternoons, excluding breaks over Christmas and/or when Greg has been away. Loyal listeners of the podcast are referred to as 'Podcastards' and are able to get in touch with Greg and Chris via the podcastard email address. The emails are then read out during the podcast.
Both Greg and Chris tweet from the That's What He Said Twitter account, with the first tweet being sent on 20 November 2013.
The podcast has received mostly positive reviews on iTunes.
The podcast begins with an introduction from the two presenters, often referencing and parodying other radio shows or presenters including BBC London 94.9 and Brian Cox or, more recently, by playing generic Radio 1 warnings for explicit or offensive content. Greg and Chris then discuss what happened in the show over the past week, as well as reading listeners' emails. The podcast includes the features from the Greg James radio show including "The Mayor Of Where?", "Wrong Uns", "Rage Against The Answer Machine", "Pun Pong" and other sections of the weekday radio show including celebrity interviews and other general chat.
