The One With Radio 1s First Show

September 26th - Show 463

In tonights show:

It's nearly 46 years since Tony Blackburn hosted the very first show on the BBC's new radio station, Radio One.  I've managed to get together cover versions for over 50% of the  26 tracks played on that show so here's my recreation with covers where I've got 'em.

The One That's Short

September 5th - Show 460

In tonights show:

I can't remember when we had a show this short...not quite hitting the 50 minute mark before we decide to call it quits on Lee's sound quality (I have cleared some of it in post).  It's the usual grab bag of stuff, including a stupid Fiverr person and a quick intro to Cosplay and the new Syfy series Heroes Of Cosplay.

Then, as Lee switches to broadcasting from his Iphone, I try to introduce him to the Greasemonkey script that brilliantly enhances Youtube.
