That’s right. We’re back for another 4 episodes in the exciting tales of The Music and Waffle Show.
It starts Sunday 6th November, 2-4pm, and is then on every Sunday in November.
We’ve produced this promo for you to enjoy:
It’s currently not available anywhere except this website, which makes it some sort of online exclusive! (It’s also only available here due to boring technical reasons, about the order of our iTunes feed, so Ben tells us.)
We’re back.
GlossFM is back on air at 87.7fm, and online at http://www.glossfm.org
We’re in the schedule, 4-6pm on Sundays.
But there’s been a few glitches so far.
For one, unbeknownst to everyone, Ben wasn’t getting any emails from GlossFM until just before the broadcast started. So you couldn’t exactly say we were well prepared for this broadcast.
We did a show on 7th November, but due to a technical glitch, our show won’t be available on here or iTunes for a little while yet (sorry).
Yesterday (14th November) was our second show. En route to the studio, Ben’s car had a tyre blow out. Although we were running early at the time, neither Ben, James or Stephen has a clue how to change a tyre, and so we made use of Ben’s breakdown cover and called for help.
Three fully-grown men in a car that has broken down between Bristol and Thornbury on a Sunday afternoon, aren’t exactly high priority. Despite that, the breakdown guy was out relatively quickly.
However, as Ben had no idea he had locking wheel nuts (spent ages looking for the key for it), by the time the wheel with Ben’s destroyed tyre had been replaced with the spare and we were back on the road, it was half way through the second hour of our 2-hour show. And we were still 10 minutes from the studio.
It hardly seems worth interrupting the 2-hour emergency show they had put on, to do 20 minutes, does it? So we warmed ourselves up with a coffee and tea (and Stephen had a pint of Guinness) from a nearby establishment.
Normal service resumed….next week?
ThornburyFM might be no more, but GlossFM is the new name for our home. Well, we only live there for 2 hours per week, 1 month out of every 6, but that’s not the point. Here’s a promo telling you all about it the show.
Pretty low-key really.
We’re on 8-10pm, every Wednesday night from 21st April to 12th May.
You can listen online at http://www.glossfm.org
As the days get longer, live lambing is on the TV (yeah we weren’t really a fan either), and April paints draws ever closer, it must be time for something big.
No, much bigger than that. Massive in fact. HUGE!
ThornburyFM is no more!
It’s died, and gone to community radio station heaven, never to be heard again.
We’ve cried, sent flowers and condolence cards, and Mr Lettuce did a personal reading, stood…well….umm…err…PLACED upon the Thornbury pump.
However, as when all mob bosses pass on, a young pretender has walked into the joint and claimed the studio equipment as its own. Even the microphone windshields, and that teddy bear that seemingly doesn’t belong to anyone. That collective, is known as GlossFM.

GlossFM is all new, bigger, stronger, faster, better than ever bef…oh..ok – they’ve just changed their name to show that the station now broadcasts to a much larger area than just Thornbury. You can now listen from Stoke Gifford to Wanswell. From Chepstow to Chipping Sodbury.
Ben, James and Stephen are all back, 8-10pm on Wednesdays, starting from 21st April 2010, with another 4-part series of The Music and Waffle Show. Please listen.
Since we started podcasting our hospital radio shows online a few years ago, it has been up to Ben to record/edit/upload them.
Eagle-eared (is that even a correct term?) listeners might have noticed, that lately there hasn’t been shows updated online quite as regularly as there once was.
This is because Ben has got himself a job working nights in a petrol station, and doesn’t have enough time to do that, the show and everything else he has to do in general life.
Which is why…. this is dedicated after 8.5 years, Ben has decided not to continue doing Requestline on a Thursday anymore. He’d rather not do it, if he can’t put the proper amount of effort into making it a good show.
For the sickly in hospital, Requestline will still continue. It’ll still go out as normal every Thursday at 8.30pm on the Hospedia (aka Patientline) bedside radio units.
However, as Ben won’t be there, it won’t be recorded or edited, and there won’t be an online podcast version.
Good news though – the Music and Waffle Show is live every Wednesday night at 8pm, on www.thornburyfm.org for the rest of November.
After that, who knows what the future might hold?
Next year could be the greatest year of our lives. Staaaaaay close to me, whooaaaaa.
