We’re back. Sorta.
No – it’s not The Music and Waffle Show. It’s Ben and Stephen filling in, doing a show on a weekend. This one went out 9-11am on a Saturday, in place of Chris Mountain’s show on Gloss FM. It’s called “The Saturday Show”, perhaps.
Other than the time of broadcast and the fact we’re just covering, there’s some other differences too. We’re using slightly different equipment (Stephen’s laptop instead of Ben’s), there’s no Donald McDonald, no James, no Don Chico, no Richard Cook, no outside broadcasts. And much as our jingles suggest it, we’re not actually broadcasting on FM. So there.
We get off to a shaky start, with our microphones a long way from where we’re sitting. All soon resolved. After about a minute, Stephen is even audible. Brilliant.
What do you lose? We put this question to our listeners.
Kim Kardashian. Why was she famous originally? Can anyone remember? Ben’s definitely seen her in something(?) but he can’t remember what.
We’ve borrowed a competition from our other show, in the form of The Golden Minute. It sounds very familiar. Odd. Still, you can win some big priz…oh…no..there’s no prizes. Just the pride of winning.
Ben thinks he’s seen the northern lights, and drives around the area chasing them.
What’s the big news stories of the week? The only way to find out* is to check out Read All About It – our news feature where we debate the news.
(*Many other ways are available.)

It’s the last in this series of the Music and Waffle Show. I can’t believe it’s over. I watched the whole thing fall, and I never saw the writing that was… yeah.. enough Michael Buble.
We’ve got a new remix of Kirsty MacColl. Well, no.. it’s 2.5 years old actually. But it’s good to hear it again (unless you’re a fanatical obsessive fan and you hate us repeating old features, in which case, sorry).
We’ve had a slight problem with our ‘guess how many’ competition The Magic Number this week, in that someone has stolen our bag and balls. However, our listeners can win some great prizes, if they can tell us how many nuts are in the sack. It’s easy – you can even look at it on the webcam. Probably.
Amazingly, Britain has come first in something. Well done us. Well, not me, James and Stephen. But well done to the others who put in some effort.
James has been using the toilet in an incorrect manner. But what have our listeners been doing wrong?
Local newsreader Donald McDonald is possibly not giving the reading of news his full attention this week, although it does feature grapes, Yorkshire, and a chicken.
James has been watching endless dross on TV, so he’s here to put together a roundup for us, and also to give you tips on who to put money on, for winning The Young Apprentice and XFactor.
Ben has finally found someone else who disliked The Hangover as much as he did, and Stephen adds another food to his “the tools of Lucifer” list.
There’s another episode of The Only Way is Bradley Stoke. Everyone is preparing themselves for the local Need For Quickness car race. Come on, Joey!
After forgetting about it for the first two weeks, and promising it the third and running out of time, we’ve finally managed to get Tweet of the Week together for the final show.
We were a bit rushed at the end of the show, so sorry about that. You’ll hardly notice really. I don’t know why I mentioned it, to be honest. As you were.

It’s the penultimate week of this series. We’ve made an intro, in the style of an oldskool one that some of our long-time listeners might remember. For the rest of you – it’s completely original and new.
James and Stephen are missing a football match being televised while we’re live. But they hardly mention it, at all. (Ben: And certainly not off air, while every record is on. At all.)
Ben’s been putting some things off until he can do it no longer. But what about the listeners?
Donald McDonald Donald has all the latest local news on payrises, name changes, and sightings of bigfoot.
The Magic Number is yet another rollover, with an ever-expanding list of prizes to be won. But just wow many balls are in that bag?
The drama…erm.. reality.. real..unscripted..drama, continues in The Only Way is Bradley Stoke aka TOWIBS.
Sadly there wasn’t time for “Tweet of the week” as advertised by Stephen. Never mind.

We all sound a bit tired today. Ben’s been busy, but not as busy as Stephen. James…well…who knows what he’s been doing?
There’s a few things that annoy Ben. Luckily he’s had a few days to calm down since his effing-and-blinding-outside-the-supermarket breakdown.
But what annoys the listeners? There’s only one way to find out. Erm, ask them.. yeah?
James has a big update on all the reality TV shows. Well…only The Young Apprentice and Xfactor really, but “Wilso’s Apprentice+Xfactor Check” doesn’t really work as a name.
Donald McDonald is here with all the latest news headlines, about gold, Almondsbury super groups, and the location of the best place in the world.
The Magic Number is back, but how many balls are in that bag? If live listeners let us know, they can win some big big prizes.
We’ve got some about-average TV news. 10 o Clock Live is back. We keep calling it “The 10 o Clock Show” for some reason.
There’s also a gold Kirsty MacColl and gold Dr Ben (repeats, in other words).

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.
