The first time that online listeners have ever heard “A Link With Home”.

In the week that we thought there was going to be a mass staff shortage, Ben Park decided to podcast Stephen Gardner’s show, and put out a recorded one in place of his own.

The man known simply as “Bones” actually turned up though, and he’s here to give his ‘Rant of the Week’ and run parts of Stephen’s show.

Stephen talks us through all the award ceremonies of the week, but keeps his personal opinions to himself about what he thinks of the artists.

The section of the show where Stephen introduces a record to help everyone relax, is slightly less relaxing for podcast listeners as we’ve removed most of the music.

Just having Ben around, has for some reason made Stephen lower the tone of his show, and talk about porn film titles.

Sadly, podcast listeners will miss most of Adele’s “Double Vision” section of the show. It’s two songs by the same artist back to back with no adverts, jingles, or anything else interrupting them in the middle.

Regular listeners to Requestline will have heard the guy who does the show after it, but whose show follows Stephen’s? Listen until the end (or just skip there…as is the digital age) to find out.
