Features from Shaun's 6 Music show were brought over, including '''Middle Aged Shout Outs''', '''Small Claims Court''', and '''[[Birthday Boulevard]]'''. The fictional pub, [[The Open Arms]], which began on Shaun's afternoon show on 6 Music was also brought over to the new show, where listeners could order drinks, [[The cartwall|cartwall]] clips and request a song on its jukebox. | |||
New features to the show include voicemails from Noddy Holder and Sting (sent in by an anonymous impersonator), '''Dad Gags''', skits and routines which are written and performed by Shaun, and callers from guests. Other segments which have either been dropped or irregularly featured include [[Dance Emergency]], [[Halfway House]], Holding Out For a Hero, Guess The Bill and Covid Corner. | |||
