The JL Show

Lucien, Shane, Dobey, Michael and Johnny are back - for the first time in four years - for a special episode of The JL Show recorded LIVE during the Covid-19 quarantine! They play 'Who Said This JL Quote?", bring back the beloved Reverse Economics segment and attempt a disastrous bit about the Corona Czar. Plus special guest Gemma phones in for her first appearance on the show. It's more pod for your lockdown on this very special JL Show!

To celebrate the five-year anniversary of our first episode, we take a look back at our historic 250-episode run and celebrate the legacy of "the worst podcast of all time".

1577 days since Jimmy and Luke began their podcasting journey, hosts and contributors of The JL Show assemble for the last time to celebrate 250 episodes of the podcast that changed the world. All roads must end, and The JL Show microphone is now switched off. We’ve had good times and we’ve had bad times, but at least we had times. Jimmy, Luke, Michael, Johnny, Shane, Killian, Darragh and more discuss the past, present and future of The JL Show on an historic and unforgettable finale. Thank...

Jimmy, co-creator of the podcast, finally returns to celebrate our penultimate episode. We reminisce, chase (horror) ghosts and find out where we came from… and where we’re going. Tune in later this week for JL250, the final ever episode of The Jimmy and Luke Show. https://ia601509.us.archive.org/5/items/JL249/JL249.mp3

It’s the third-to-last episode of The JL Show. Luke and Michael return to the podcast’s birthplace. Ciaran, Jake and James 2 contribute a comedy bit. Calum returns to offer his views on the presidential election, Joe Rogan Podcast (Check It Out) and to forget that he met Luke a few weeks ago at a party. http://ia601505.us.archive.org/31/items/JL248/JL248.mp3

Join Luke, Shane and an assortment of friends for the fourth-to-last episode of The JL Show. We’d give you shownotes, but we don’t want to ruin the surprise. https://ia601507.us.archive.org/28/items/JL247/JL247.mp3

For the fifth-to-last episode of The JL Show, join the gang for a Bonk Holiday special packed with wit and hilarity.

In memory of TZA, our friend. https://ia601502.us.archive.org/14/items/JL246/JL246.mp3

It’s 4/20, so what better a time to welcome back some of our favourite crazy clowns to the show. Darragh, Eoin and Jack join Lu, Killian and Shane for a sunny Wednesday chat about their summer plans, Nickelodeon’s best 00s sitcoms, intense inebriation and much more! https://ia601500.us.archive.org/17/items/JL245/JL245.mp3

Note: The recording of JL243 was damaged, so apologies for the very poor audio quality this week. To compensate, we are treating you to a lost episode from 2012 at the start of this podcast. —————– Insert Description Here, as the gang (namely Lu, Shane, Eoghan, Michael and Li Lu) bring you a painfully generic episode of The Podcast That Absolutely Has To Reach 250 …

The ninth-to-last episode of The JL Show is live from the Mikemobile as Lu, Michael, Johnny and Li Lu make an unnecessary excursion on a sunny midweek afternoon.

On Easter Monday, 1916, a group of brave men and women took action against British tyranny and changed Ireland forever. 100 years later, the not-so-brave men and women of The JL Show celebrate the centenary of their homeland’s freedom and the imminent St. Patrick’s Day with a special commemorative episode. The national anthem shall be sung! Poems shall be read! Is eipeasóid stairiúil é. Ná ní …

Join Lucien, Killian, Michael, Shane, Eoghan, Li Lu and guests for a fun-filled edition of the podcast that’s high in self-indulgence and low in entertainment value.

All this and more, only on The JL Show! https://ia601503.us.archive.org/32/items/JL237/JL237.mp3
