We caught up with The Big Top 40 Show hosts Rich and Kat...

Rich Clarke

Have you got the best job in the world?
Tough call... I love my job, it is officially ace, however if I could be a Domino's Pizza tester for the day that would be brilliant.

What is your first chart memory?
My friends at school used to try and "out chart" each other by memorising how many weeks songs had been in the top 40. I have the memory of a fish (and a life) so could never compete, however I do remember my Nan buying me a Jive Bunny record when I was a kid because it was number 1. I've still got it. One day you'll see me on the Antiques Roadshow clutching it with pride and telling them it was No. 1 for five weeks.

What is the most listened to song on your iPod?
I always dread these questions because it's usually something really tragic... but... I can report it's currently La Roux 'In for the Kill' ...slightly more credible than the second most listened to track, 'Where's the Party' by Madonna (c'mon the sun was out when I wrote this).

What is the most embarrassing track on your iPod?
I'm not embarrassed about any of them. However my mp3 player plays the tracks out loud if the headphones fall out of the hole. Not so good if you've got Michael Buble blaring out on a packed train.

Who would you most like to get on the show?
The best guests have always been the ones you thought would be awful. I have a rule that if the band was around when I was growing up, I tend to get a bit more nervous about it. So interviewing Madonna would be incredible. I'd be terrified, but it would be an amazing experience.

What was the first album you bought?
Erhm, Roxette... 'Joyride'. Apparently they're getting back together.

Favourite gig you've ever been to?
I love it when Iím surprised at a gig. I went to see Linkin Park last year and it was amazing. Equally seeing Snow Patrol recently was incredible. The reaction to some of their bigger singles was probably the most electrifying moment I have experienced at a gig.

What's the best thing about working with Kat?
She has a ready supply of ketchup. If ever you need any condiments to complement your meal, Kat’s got a stack in her locker.
 

Kat Shoob

Have you got the best job in the world?
My mum definitely thinks it is...

What is your first chart memory?
Don't think it's legal but recording the songs and trying to press stop before the DJ spoke... puts me out of a job slightly though doesn't it. Also use to record it and make up dance routines stomping around in my bedroom... Play... rewind... play.. rewind...

What is the most listened to song on your iPod?
Stevie Wonder - Part Time Lover.

What is the most embarrassing track on your iPod?
Yeah I like a bit of Buble but only because I think he might be singing it to me and me only... that's bit embarrassing and bit stalker like.

Who would you most like to get on the show?
Stevie Wonder or Lionel Richie.

What was the first album you bought?
2 Unlimited, can't remember the name but I think it was the only one they brought out actually. It had that great hit 'No no, no no no no, no no no no , no no there's no limit!!!!

What's the best thing about working with Rich?
Nothing... ha ha!! Jokes! I love Richard Clarke very much and he makes me see sense when I am being a stupid girl pants. Also he is constantly eating Pizza or going to a Theme Park, it's brilliant!
