The Ricky Gervais Podcast
Season 1
The first series of Podcasts started on 5 December 2005, and a new episode was put out for the next 12 Mondays. The show relies heavily on the wit and bizarre theories of Karl Pilkington. Karl is now "unemployed", having left his job as radio producer at Xfm. The podcast focuses more on Karl Pilkington as a primary figure of humour in the show in various ways, including questions directed at Karl that have been emailed in, either by fans of the show or by Ricky or Steve themselves, whereas the XFM show had slightly more input and humour supplied by Ricky and Steve, with Karl's theories and features being a lot less focused on in the Xfm shows.

The Podfather
Three free podcasts have been announced that coincide with special days. The first was released on 31 October 2006, to coincide with Halloween, the next was on 23 November, coinciding with Thanksgiving (prompting Karl to say "I don't know why we're doing this, I don't know anyone who's ever said "are you popping around for Thanksgiving?" - no, when is it? If you're going to celebrate something at least make it something that you know what it is"), and the last was released on 24 December 2006 (to coincide with Christmas).
Steve and Ricky mentioned on the Christmas episode that they didn't feel like doing any further Podcasts for a long time. During an interview at XFM, Ricky did not rule out returning to XFM for a further series, though nothing has been confirmed. However, during a BBC interview on January 20th, 2008, Gervais hinted that he may return with Merchant and Pilkington for another podcast series.
