I'm fairly sure that I've heard Paul Sinha on Radio 4's "The Now Show" where ISTR he came across really well, although that's clearly a scripted show and JaM isn't. More interestingly he's appeared on BBC Five Live's "Fighting Talk" - one of my favourite shows - which is much more spontaneous.

I agree with lapsedcat in saying that Richard Herring is less well known than he deserves. I enjoy his podcasts as well, but he's probably best known to Radio 4 audiences for his "permanent guest" status on "Banter" or, for those with longer memories, for "Lionel Nimrod's Inexplicable World". A cursory glance over his Wikipedia page at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Herring shows just how much of good British comedy he's been involved with.

I'm looking forward to these two shows already...
