Sad news this week (cue the music from The Incredible Hulk) as someone announces his (or her) (hopefully temporary) retirement from the show (The title gives it away you idiot – ed). The aftershocks of this announcement will be felt for some time, or until Ste finds a way to fill in the spare three minutes.
Away from news that will bring a tear to a glass eye, we have a super-special guest in the form of Nick Cowen, who shows us how freelance journalism works as he not only works in the clean, pristine world of FM radio, but also is prepared to get dirty in the disgusting world of medium wave. Brrr.
There’s a bumper letters section that we have to split into two sections. Listen to see if you won a copy of Dark Souls or if you were insulted by Ste when he was drunk.
Not a huge amount of features, but the ever reliable Derek and the reliably Week A Wiki Wah-Wah-ing Duncan are more than capable of keeping you entertained. We hope.
Cheerio!

Can I say – it’s about time? FME was always almost entirely humourless and uninformative and delivered in a drone, which, when combined with the amateur background music, made me want to stick flaming cotton buds in my ears.
But I guess I’m a hater.
[...] 1) Ste ran out of the room during the title credits 2) W they found out I’d been on Adam Rosser’s Game On show they began plotting how to use me as an asset. 3) The studio had the door open for most of the broadcast because the sight of me sweating made them all nauseous. 4) When they found out I was going on Game On the following night, the idea of making me swallow flaked TNT and a remote detonator was considered. 5) The show marked the end of an era as one of the members of One Life Left announced their departure… OR DID THEY!!!??? 6) … Oh just listen to the podcast already!

Sir,
I should like to point out that in addition to our national medium wave service listeners can enjoy our broadcasting on FM (we’re carried by the local radio network overnight), Freeview and digital services and via the interweb.
Best of luck in the GMAs.
As ever.
