In a week of technical failures at BHBS, it wasn’t the smoothest of shows.
Nothing was the same volume off-air as it was on, all our levels visually were off the scale anyway, Ben couldn’t really hear himself, and as the playout system was broken – Geoff Rose wasn’t even on at 10pm for our live listeners. It just sounded terrible, in a lot of ways.

Ed’s been playing football this week, and his team lost. Badly (although not as bad as the last time).

Steff tells us youngsters about vinyl. Why is there different speeds? Does it really sound better than CDs?

Lack of staff and a boring week, means we don’t play All a Twitter this week, but we have a Twitter News section instead.

If anyone knows Bernie Clifton, we’d like to borrow the ostrich, to lend to a professional athlete. Well, Ed. We’ll convince him it’s a good idea later.

We steal one of Stephen Gardner’s features from his “A Link With Home” show, to play Double Vision. We even shamefully play a slightly cut down version of his jingle.

Thanks

Thanks to Ed and Steff for their audible contributions to the show.
