The Education of Karl: Following the revelation of Karl's GCSE results, a sole E in History, Ricky decides to give Karl a piece of homework, usually a short biography of an important historic figure, which Karl must report on each week. Subjects included Rasputin, Che Guevara, Hitler, Winston Churchill and Aesop's Fables. Karl soon became bored and annoyed with his homework since it reminded him of school, and abandoned the feature. This was one of the first recurring features, along with White Van Karl, which principally revolved around Karl relating his opinions on various topics.

Using the latest in post-podcast, paper-based media, Ricky's putting together a compilation of gems from the first series of podcasts. Karl is busy with crayons expanding on many of his relatively special theories for the book which will be out in September this year.

Knob News has a format which is an amalgam of Monkey News and Educating Ricky. It features only in the latest 2005 XFM shows. Early versions had Ricky giving the news, though later it involved Karl giving a series of headlines of a male genital nature, from which Ricky and Steve would choose from. A one-off show feature, similarly related, was Fanny Facts — where Karl presented news about or related to vaginas.

Just to leave you in no doubt, the star of these Podcasts(or Bodcasts as Ricky re-names them) is the unique Karl Pilkington. Had he and Einstein ever held a conversation, it would have been difficult to have selected the genius of the two.
