It’s the second week of us broadcasting on the all-new GlossFM, and Ben gets called lazy, despite spending the entire previous day working on the show.

Has Stephen gone posh? “Parster” or “paassed-er”?

Ever done something you shouldn’t, that you hadn’t admitted to, until now?
James has had a little accident, that he owns up about on air.

Donald McDonald Donald has all the latest news. If only everyone would let him get through it without interruptions.

Ben and Stephen have been to a secret event organised by social networking.
They can’t talk about it for personal reasons.
James has been to a secret political event. We can’t talk about that either, without risking giving undue prominence to a political party, in the middle of an election.

The friendly pirates return with tales of their new courier business. It’s not going hugely well.

We’ve been reading the newspapers. Stephen’s got a story about something political he wants to read, and Ben rants about irons. James thinks that hoverboards used to exist.

We’ve got a big competition this week. But how many keys are in the bowl?

Dr Ben answers a listener’s question this week related to an inch-high monster.

*Other VoIP services are available. Other political parties are available. Other religions are available. Other snackfoods (other than Snickers) are available. Other soap operas to disturb your newsreadering, are available.

Music and Waffle Show – 21st April 2010

It’s Wednesday the 21st of April, and we’re back, with another run of The Music and Waffle Show, on the all-new radio station – GlossFM.

Stephen kicks off with some big local news, which Ben is really, really excited about.

James has got a problem with his trousers. But will they fall down during the show?
James hasn’t had a problem with the “runs” before. But he’s feeling a bit awkward as he can’t look down on Ben anymore.

Donald McDonald is back with all the latest news, including the “News Anchor of the Year”, exploding mashed potato, and a local man who gets the key to the city.

We’ve got a big competition this week, where winners can win huge prizes. It’s called “The Magic Number”, it involves a sock and coins, and it requires the use of the webcam. Unfortunately, the webcam was broken.

Ben stops listening to Stephen during a long link, and completely ruins a perfectly formed link. Then he shows up both his, and James’ knowledge of jazz music.

Dr Ben is also here to solve a listener’s problem. Well, he’s not actually with us – he’s on the phone, because he’s in LA. And that’s Long Ashton, Bristol, BS41 – not Los Angeles. He’s a bit down on his luck.
