Off the radio. Producing audio for some of the biggest names in broadcasting. And jingle anorak. Lots of BBC content - but opinions mine, not Auntie’s (or anyone else).
BBC Sounds will be blocked for listeners outside the UK. Devastating news

EXCLUSIVE: #SteveWright In The Afternoon - BBC Radio 2
The "Talkie Bits" (as Steve first christened them on R1 back in the 90s) were pre-recorded in the morning…
…which meant there were just so many funny outtakes that never went to air.
We kept them all, though.

Just come across this audio - brilliant!
The ‘1tros’ CD - the original and the best Power Intros on BBC Radio 1.
*Something you may not know*: 1tros were the brainchild of producer Small Paul (although Sandy took credit and insisted they were “produced by Music4”)

We’ve lost too many greats this year. Awfully sad to hear about Howie. THE voice. We remember him from IRN, Capital, Berks - but every single day (for a time), I heard him as the voice of BBC Radio 2.

Obligatory radioey/anorakky/jingley post:
“Peaking 6 1/2!!” as Wrighty would’ve liked.
Friday Fun at our OB this morning, coming to you from a makeshift studio we built in an hour out of some string and tinfoil.
Lots of serious crunchin’ and rollin’ - and plenty of AJ jinglin’ (No Gs all round)

@simonmayo.bsky.social I’ve afraid you’ve been caught out Sir.
At 17:08 on the last edition of the Confessions Podcast: You gave a mention to a certain “Dan Gleebits”. Which is clearly meant to represent “Dangly …”
Love the show.
