Ask James Anything: James O’Brien to appear on Celebrity Traitors?!
2026/10/28
In the first ever Ask James Anything, James O'Brien tackles your questions on everything from Celebrity Traitors and Halloween costumes to how to talk to people whose politics you profoundly disagree with.
There’s also a moving conversation about grief, migration and keeping the lines of communication open - plus an unexpected studio blackout and the small matter of whether James might make a brilliant Faithful… or an even better Traitor.
If you’ve got a question for James, email it to [email protected]. You can also WhatsApp or voicenote your question to 07879809731. No question is off limits… although James reserves the right to tell you to wind your neck in.
Ask James Anything is a Global production. You can subscribe via Global Player and try a 7 day free trial right now. Listen or watch on Global Player or YouTube now.
James Reacts to… Erotic Fiction, Elon Musk’s Odyssey Hot Take & TikTok Impressions
2026/10/26
Welcome to James Reacts, where James O'Brien delves into the LBC archives, reacts to stories that he didn’t get a chance to discuss on his LBC radio show, as well as weird and wonderful viral moments on the internet!
In this episode, James reacts to questionable erotic fiction from the political world, Elon Musk’s idea of a “historically accurate” Odyssey, and a TikTok impression that leaves him distinctly unconvinced.
If you’ve got something that you'd love James to react to - whether it's a clip or a news story - you can email it to [email protected]. You can also WhatsApp your suggestions to 07879809731.
