Perhaps the most prolific e-mailer to the Xfm Shows, Richard Anderson is mockingly described as the show's biggest fan, despite the fact that all of his e-mails are of a derogatory nature.

The first e-mail from Anderson was read out on the 02 November 2002 show. When discussing what Anderson might look like, Steve said that he imagines him to be "slightly older, with a beard".
