Welcome to the world of Shaun Keaveny’s Daily Grind. It's a show of contradictions, it's about anything and everything but it's definitely also a show about nothing. It's a bit like a daily radio show but it's a podcast. It’s disorientating, but it’s also reassuring! The Daily Grind is a comforting accompaniment to help you through the week, as Shaun Keaveny returns to the studio in this daily podcast.

Listen everyday from 5pm.

A Global Original and Radio X production in association with APX Content Ventures.

Shaun Keaveny's Daily Grind

"Did you think I was dead? Did you think I was off living in a cave? Did you think I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar? Do you even know who I am? Maybe the answer to all those questions is no, but I hope you say YES I WILL LISTEN TO YOUR PODCAST because I honestly think it's going to be great. WHAT’S IT ABOUT, SHAUN?? Good question...I can’t answer that. It is a podcast essentially about nothing and everything. Will there be guests? Yes, in a weird way. Will we be in the studio? Yes, but also everywhere...on a canal towpath...in a pub. Will there be features? YES...Will you stop asking questions? YES OKAY. If nothing else it will be a mildly diverting daily piece of daft to counteract the daily dread. GO ON GIVE IT A GO!!

The first episode of Shaun Keaveny's Daily Grind goes out on October 16th.

Shaun Keaveny's Daily Grind - The Trailer

A new era has dawned... here's our pilot. Shaun spends the first part of the podcast trying to offset all the audio detritus that he's put into the world by picking up litter. In the studio, we hear from Joe Lycett (on a busy road) about the topic of busses and Gary Kemp because its his birthday. As well as NEWS and On This Day. We hope you enjoy this very first Daily Grind and come back tomorrow.

The Grind Begins: Joe Lycett's Foreskin, Towpath Adventures and FaceTiming Gary Kemp

Today, Shaun attempts what no one thought possible, to make a full length podcast for a second day in a row. On the Daily Grind today, we have "On this day in history," news and get some listener feedback. PLUS, a very special guest Rob Auton dials in to chat about having a hard to spell surname, his favourite Doctor Who moment and reads his poem 'Uncooked Dreams.'

The Tricky Second Album: Rob Auton, Battery 'n' Boiler Week and Listener Feedback

We start by joining Shaun on his morning commute as he cycles into the office. With a Britney style face mic, he brings us into his favourite part of the day. But the show does not stay cheery, no. There is a battle to be decided and its Shaun vs Producer Ben. They've both picked a number and made a jingle for it.

Who will win? You decide. Text in to 83936 and start the message with 'Grind' to let us know which number you prefer. 

There's some fairly strong language in this podcast, so it might not be suitable for all ages.

Back at the Coal Face: Phone Jingle Wars, Dolphin News and Shaun's best features

In an episode that explores the true range of the Daily Grind we see Ross Noble pop in for a chat with more digressions that the London sewer system. Shaun and Ross discuss parenting, fish flops, Schnorbitz the Dog, a large Saint Bernard dog who was a comic "partner" to Bernie Winters and of course, ADD. 

Before that though we find out the winner of the Jingle-Off and what the new number for the studio is.

It's Been a Week with Jordan Gray: Fighting Wasps on Stage and Jacket Potatoes in the Bath

They say that week 2 of a daily podcast is when fatigue truly sets in. Decision-making becomes impaired, and things can go seriously wrong. Add to this the additional factor that it's also half term, and there's no telling how low Shaun could fall. We begin with the big man alone by the canal, having a quiet word with himself before he comes into studio. When he gets in its a usual round up of daft stories and missives as well as a cursory look at where in the world haven't listened to the Daily Grind.

Listener Complaints, Slash as an Exotic Pet and Rishi Sunak's Answerphone

Today on the Daily Grind, it's Tuesday! On the show today Ben gives the studio a gift. There's an interpretation of David Bowie's Aladdin Sane era music, some planets get their feelings hurt AND we hear some found tape of explorer mice. Plus, our new squirrel correspondent Rob Auton!

David Bowie's A Lad in Spain, Explorer Mice and Rob Auton: our squirrel correspondent

Join Shaun as he deliberates over lunch - could he really give up sandwiches for £10k? No more salt beef beigels. Ever. No more tuna crunch - and technically no more burgers or sausage wraps. Even pizza is debatable. And you can forget about BLT's, they are straight out the door.

And of course, on this day in history, listener feedback, all the usual.

Would you give up sandwiches for life, for £10k?

We're hot on the heels of Halloween - a time to carve turnips and fire pumpkins from canons. Shaun delves into the idiosyncrasies of the spooky season.

And in the spirit of change - things get a little bit experimental - as Shaun uses his sensual bassy voice to relax you and find a space to unwind, while listening to his recital of the full menu of Camra beers at the Bent N Bongs Beer Bash 1993, complete with new shart index.

And of course, on this day in history, listener feedback, all the usual.
