ThornburyFM might be no more, but GlossFM is the new name for our home. Well, we only live there for 2 hours per week, 1 month out of every 6, but that’s not the point. Here’s a promo telling you all about it the show.

Pretty low-key really.

We’re on 8-10pm, every Wednesday night from 21st April to 12th May.
You can listen online at http://www.glossfm.org

An important announcement

As the days get longer, live lambing is on the TV (yeah we weren’t really a fan either), and April paints draws ever closer, it must be time for something big.

No, much bigger than that. Massive in fact. HUGE!

ThornburyFM is no more!
It’s died, and gone to community radio station heaven, never to be heard again.

We’ve cried, sent flowers and condolence cards, and Mr Lettuce did a personal reading, stood…well….umm…err…PLACED upon the Thornbury pump.

However, as when all mob bosses pass on, a young pretender has walked into the joint and claimed the studio equipment as its own. Even the microphone windshields, and that teddy bear that seemingly doesn’t belong to anyone. That collective, is known as GlossFM.

GlossFM is all new, bigger, stronger, faster, better than ever bef…oh..ok – they’ve just changed their name to show that the station now broadcasts to a much larger area than just Thornbury. You can now listen from Stoke Gifford to Wanswell. From Chepstow to Chipping Sodbury.

Ben, James and Stephen are all back, 8-10pm on Wednesdays, starting from 21st April 2010, with another 4-part series of The Music and Waffle Show. Please listen.

Requestline no more?

Since we started podcasting our hospital radio shows online a few years ago, it has been up to Ben to record/edit/upload them.
Eagle-eared (is that even a correct term?) listeners might have noticed, that lately there hasn’t been shows updated online quite as regularly as there once was.
This is because Ben has got himself a job working nights in a petrol station, and doesn’t have enough time to do that, the show and everything else he has to do in general life.

Which is why…. this is dedicated after 8.5 years, Ben has decided not to continue doing Requestline on a Thursday anymore. He’d rather not do it, if he can’t put the proper amount of effort into making it a good show.
For the sickly in hospital, Requestline will still continue. It’ll still go out as normal every Thursday at 8.30pm on the Hospedia (aka Patientline) bedside radio units.
However, as Ben won’t be there, it won’t be recorded or edited, and there won’t be an online podcast version.

Good news though – the Music and Waffle Show is live every Wednesday night at 8pm, on www.thornburyfm.org for the rest of November.
After that, who knows what the future might hold?
Next year could be the greatest year of our lives. Staaaaaay close to me, whooaaaaa.

Back from 4th November 2009, is a new series of The Music and Waffle Show on ThornburyFM. It’ll be on every Wednesday from 8-10pm, for 4 weeks. Here’s an advert for proof.

Requestline – 15th October 2009

What a great show that was.
It was probably in the top 5…well…10. Ok, ok, maybe top 75 Requestline shows of all time.
We’ve done worse.
Some of it can never be topped, nor repeated. Probably.

Sadly, what with Ben’s hectic and erratic working schedule, he wasn’t there to record it. Which is unfortunate really.

Another live Requestline show should go out next Thursday (22nd October), which SHOULD have a podcast for our online listeners following ashamedly along behind it, with its tail between its legs.
