Incredibly, this is the last part of the current series of the continuing adventures of The Music and Waffle Show, on GlossFM.

There’s far too much Stephen on this week’s “Previously” for some reason, but on the upside – we’ve got prizes galore on this show, including two snickers bars, and a doughnut, in the big competition we’re calling “The Magic Number”.

What would you change your name to, if you were going to change it to something fun? We ask our listeners, and James does a bit of singing.

Local newsreader Donald McDonald Donald has all the big local news for you, including stories about fat fingers, a rare flower, and Brad Pitt statues.

We decided not to do outtakes this series. Instead, we made all the mistakes live, on-air, by accident.
On a completely unrelated note, classical-music enthusiast Dave Molehill is on the show this week, to bring some culture to the show. This week he’s looking at the 1812 overture.
This was then ruined by James playing Take That afterwards.

Half-way through the show, Stephen describes himself as “wonderful”. That’s more than can be said for some of his music.

Dr Ben rounds off the show (and the series), on a satellite phone all the way from sunny L.A. (Long Ashton) to help a listener with a problem.

It’s the third week in, and Ben has actually bothered to make the “Previously on The Music and Waffle Show…”

“Magic Numbers” or “THE Magic Number”?
Whatever our competition is called, we’ve been let down again.
Someone has stolen the bowl with keys in it, so what are we going to use this time?

What did you do on the bank holiday weekend? James got annoyed at people not finishing things they’ve started, while on holiday in Barcelona.

If anyone knows the local areal, it’s Donald McDonald Donald, with his local news broadcasting experience. He brings the most current informational services available, as they were at the time of broadcast.

We’ve got James Wilson’s best mate back on the show, for the deepest, most-probing view of your horoscopes ever.

Stephen plays a terrible record, but is his terrible record, worse than Ben’s terrible joke about it?
And is that worse than Stephen’s terrible “big news” about Danielle Lloyd?

At the weekend, Ben watched a dancing tree cut down in his prime, then stole the leaves with the rest of the angry mob. Why? He’s not 100% sure.
He also went on a scarecrow hunt. Worzel Gummidge was not harmed during this.

We’re not meant to show undue favour towards any one particular political party, and have to remain unbiased and impartial at all times.
Which is why we’ve decided to talk about candidates massively outside of our broadcast area, who our listeners couldn’t vote for if they wanted to.
Obviously they’re also both as good as each other.
(Also, by the time this podcast is out, the polling stations will have long since closed.)
