It’s the last in the series. Doesn’t it feel like it comes around so quick every time? No? Oh.well..err…ok…. moving on.

In a cultured week, Ben and Stephen have both been to the theatre. Different theatres. Stephen saw Shakespeare. Ben..err…didn’t. Stephen held up the performance, then made a lot of noise to distract the actors.

Talking of acting, the local friendly pirates have had enough of pirating, and try out at a talent show.

Newsreader Donald McDonald has got all the important local news including stories about pimped-out tractors, flower show ticket touts, and a secret local extraterrestrial area.

The Golden Minute is our big competition which should have a massive prize for the winner. Sadly, Ben has eaten it. There’s always the prestige of getting the right answer, I guess.

It’s the season finale of The Only Way is Bradley Stoke. Will the mayors luncheon be a success?

Our anonymous undercover investigator known only as ‘Richard Cook’ has sent us another audio recording. This one isn’t as clear to understand as some of the others. We hope he’s OK. Get well soon, Richard.

Ben is back, audible, and in front of various microphones. He’s on the show. That’s what I mean.
Apparently the world is ending. We’re not 100% sure when, although the guy who told us may have taken the details from an REM song. We just hope it doesn’t happen before the end of the podcast.

Newsreader Donald McDonald is trying to plan a holiday, but you’ll hardly notice as he doesn’t bring his personal life to work with him, for goodness sake. He’s a professional.

The Golden Minute is back, where you can’t win some great prizes. As either Stephen or Ben forgot to get one. Oops.

The Only Way is Bradley Stoke’s storyline..erm.. real-world…not written..reality..line..continues with gripping stories about important life-changing things such as hair waxing.

Ben gets his Kirsty MacColl track played, but it was so good, it made the rest of the Kirsty MacColl remixes look bad. It’ll take some beating.

Richard Cook looks into grant assistance in the local area, and probes deeply into non-profit organisations’ finances.

It’s a first. Not only is James not present this week, but Ben is absent from most of the show. Busy behind the scenes, if you like.

But Stephen doesn’t have to keep the show going entirely on his own. Randy Lightpurple is helping him out by covering some of the local sport, live.
And Donald McDonald has all the local news, of course.

We’ve got a big competition, in the form of The Golden Minute. 4 songs from the same year, 1 minute. Just guess the year. There’s no prize as it’s been stolen, but a big competition nonetheless.

This week has 1 main presenter, 2 news presenters, but there’s no cutbacks elsewhere. There’s still the Top 5 Stories of the Week, don’t you worry.

Reality TV is massive. But we’re the only one doing reality radio about the lives of local residents. The Only Way is Bradley Stoke, continues.

Ben’s wasn’t even listening to this show, and Stephen still played his favourite record of all time. What a nice man Mr Gardner is.

We’ve also got another audio recording from the elusive Richard Cook, delving into the hidden issues happening in the local area, that nobody else is reporting on.

We’re back. Due to substantial cutbacks, we’ve had to cut James from the show, and Ben has gone part-time.
We’ve got some new features (and some old ones), but it’s all very reasonably priced.
Unfortunately some of the money has have to go on Javier and Dave – our bodyguards – to protect us from our stalker.

In the week of the royal wedding, Stephen has got some big news. Thankfully, our local newsreader Donald McDonald is here with all the proper news about Fast and Furious 6.

What’s the worst accent you’ve ever heard? We ask the listeners.

The Golden Minute competition returns. It’s been away for a few years, but all you have to do is listen to the 4 clips of songs, and tell us what year it is. This time round, there is absolutely no baroque. Definitely.

Stephen has got Ben a new remix of Kirsty MacColl’s New England. Lucky Ben.

Have you kept your eye on the papers? Yes? Oh. Well, the best stories are timeless..or something.
And given that this podcast wasn’t available til September, you’ll have forgotten all about them by now.

We’ve got the biggest reality show (well, within the local area) in the form of The Only Way is Bradley Stoke. It’s not scripted.

And in 2011, just who is fighting for the cause of the innocent? The powerless? In a world where the county council officials operate outside of the guidelines of their agreed policy documents? David..no..err…Richard Cook, that’s who! And he brings “The Richard Report” to the show, to uncover the truth.*
*It features some scenes which viewers may find familiar.

Music and Waffle Show – 28th November 2010

It’s the final part of this series of the Music and Waffle Show, so it’s only right that we go out with a bang. Starting a bit too literally, we begin by blowing up the Wilso-matic machine.

Our newsreader Donald McDonald is enjoying the work of the hilarious Andy Capp. However, he finds the time to write the morning’s important local news, to keep the listeners up to date.

In another feature that doesn’t work very well in a podcast form (especially when it isn’t edited and uploaded for nearly 9 months), we have a big long debate about The Apprentice and the X-Factor 2010 – as part Wilso’s Reality Check.

What lies have you been told?
We’ve lied during off-air moments of the show, we’ve been lied to from someone else at the station, and Stephen has even been lied to in a foreign language.

Have you missed the big news of the week? No? Well..err…have you missed those crap little ‘Sun Spot’ type stories? You’re in luck. We’ve got the lot, in our feature – Top 5 Stories of the Week.

There’s a huge disagreement over music taste half way through the show. Luckily, we’ve got a professional who can tell us what is and isn’t good, in the form of club DJ Nigel Westmidlandwood.

Stephen tells a theatre horror story, and uses it as a big excuse to plug his play.

How big are the jugs? If our listeners can guess this in “The Magic Number” competition, they can win a prize.

Stephen hasn’t heard the record from The Randomizer in years. Our podcast listeners won’t get to hear it now, either.
