Format
The format of the NME Radio Show was more like their Xfm Shows than the podcasts. Whereas the podcasts were purely conversational, the NME show had music. However, due it being pre-recorded there was no listener interaction. Sammy Jacobs, NME Radio's managing director and friend of Ricky and Steve's from Xfm in 1997 said, "Gervais' show will involve banter between the trio, who have recorded a series of hugely successful, record-breaking podcasts together in the past, as well as their favourite songs."<ref>Ricky Gervais to launch NME Radio</ref>
