We’re back. Stephen sounds terrible. We managed 15 minutes before we got a complaint.

James has his finger on the pulse of reality TV dross, and he brings it to the listeners in his ‘Reality Check’.

But never mind national reality shows. What’s happening on a local level? South-West? No, even more local than that! Find out in our award-winning* The Only Way is Bradley Stoke.
(*Hasn’t actually won any awards.)

Donald McDonald is back with the factual local news (not that TOWIBS isn’t factual, obviously), packaged and brutally grafted for the listeners.

What do you have an irritating uncontrollable obsession about? We put this question to our listeners.

If you’ve not read any newspapers, online news sites, not heard the radio, or watched any TV this week, what are the top 5 most important news stories you should hear about? We do a round up for you.

We’ve got a big competition where you can win** some great prizes. It’s called The Magic Number, and it’s simple but brilliant.
(**Live listeners only. Podcast listeners: it’s just for fun.)

You’ve got a million songs. 10 million. 100 million. How do you pick enough music for a 2 hour show though? We use The Randomizer – an enormous wheel covered in numbers. Unfortunately we edit all music we don’t have permission to use, out, so you don’t get to hear it. But never mind.
