In 2003, Buxton and Cornish presented Adam and Joe Go Tokyo for BBC3, a Tokyo based magazine show covering Japanese pop culture. In the same year they began hosting a show on UK radio station XFM, filling in for Ricky Gervais on Saturday afternoons. When Gervais left the station they took over permanently, and continued to present a two hour Saturday morning show and a popular podcast until the end of their most recent run in 2006. The Adam and Joe DVD, containing highlights from the original four series, was released in 2004.
