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.

GlossFm’s website (Ben has nearly finished the profile, honest)
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.)

Scarecrow Hunt – no scarecrows were harmed.
It’s the second week of us broadcasting on the all-new GlossFM, and Ben gets called lazy, despite spending the entire previous day working on the show.
Has Stephen gone posh? “Parster” or “paassed-er”?
Ever done something you shouldn’t, that you hadn’t admitted to, until now?
James has had a little accident, that he owns up about on air.
Donald McDonald Donald has all the latest news. If only everyone would let him get through it without interruptions.
Ben and Stephen have been to a secret event organised by social networking.
They can’t talk about it for personal reasons.
James has been to a secret political event. We can’t talk about that either, without risking giving undue prominence to a political party, in the middle of an election.
The friendly pirates return with tales of their new courier business. It’s not going hugely well.
We’ve been reading the newspapers. Stephen’s got a story about something political he wants to read, and Ben rants about irons. James thinks that hoverboards used to exist.
We’ve got a big competition this week. But how many keys are in the bowl?
Dr Ben answers a listener’s question this week related to an inch-high monster.
*Other VoIP services are available. Other political parties are available. Other religions are available. Other snackfoods (other than Snickers) are available. Other soap operas to disturb your newsreadering, are available.

It’s Wednesday the 21st of April, and we’re back, with another run of The Music and Waffle Show, on the all-new radio station – GlossFM.
Stephen kicks off with some big local news, which Ben is really, really excited about.
James has got a problem with his trousers. But will they fall down during the show?
James hasn’t had a problem with the “runs” before. But he’s feeling a bit awkward as he can’t look down on Ben anymore.
Donald McDonald is back with all the latest news, including the “News Anchor of the Year”, exploding mashed potato, and a local man who gets the key to the city.
We’ve got a big competition this week, where winners can win huge prizes. It’s called “The Magic Number”, it involves a sock and coins, and it requires the use of the webcam. Unfortunately, the webcam was broken.
Ben stops listening to Stephen during a long link, and completely ruins a perfectly formed link. Then he shows up both his, and James’ knowledge of jazz music.
Dr Ben is also here to solve a listener’s problem. Well, he’s not actually with us – he’s on the phone, because he’s in LA. And that’s Long Ashton, Bristol, BS41 – not Los Angeles. He’s a bit down on his luck.

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.
