Milestone for Ed Gamble and James Acaster's podcast

Ed Gamble and James Acaster's Off Menu podcast has hit 30 million downloads.

The milestone comes in little over 18 months since launching in December.

In that time, guests who have picked their perfect fantasy meal have included Teri Hatcher, Armando Iannucci, Victoria Coren Mitchell, Kumail Nanjiani, Daisy May Cooper and Rose McGowan alongside favourites from the UK comedy scene including  Greg Davies, Aisling Bea, Nish Kumar and Katherine Ryan.

 Acaster said: 'I am going to celebrate by eating a tub of ice cream for every listen."

And Gamble added: 'I can’t believe how many people listen to this dumb shit.'

Series 4 started last week with guest Romesh Ranganathan, and the second episode is out today with Louis Theroux.

Off Menu has also launched a range of merchandise – t-shirts, mugs, tote bags and tea towels – that can be ordered hhereere.
