Flashback! Updates!

Category : Shows

Me (Robyn) and Ali were back again last night a blast from the past playing the usual cheesy/old tunes. On the show we discussed the Oscars, recent technology fails, this years comic relief (some of which we think are insane) and also the possible health risks of doctor fish.
We also had some very exciting news for all the Bridget Jones fans out there, with news that there is indeed going to be a 3rd film being made :). The film should include all the same cast, with Renee already agreeing to sign up :). We will keep you informed.
As I mentioned in the previous blog about a few themed shows coming up, we have both agreed that a movie week is a must, so look out for that over the coming month amongst others.
That’s it from me for now. Tune in next week Monday 8-9pm.
Robyn over and out!

Monday’s Skive Time

Category : Shows

On Monday’s Skive Time we talked Oscars (reading the posts below this one is a must!), research that says facebook causes students stress and Bobby McFerrin’s 1988 classic Don’t worry be happy received a lot of love on the texts and emails when we played it as our 80s bit.

Best line of the song is… “The land lord says your rent is late, he may have to litigate”. Tune!

We also played the brand new radio competition, “What did I jump on in the production room?” Fairly self explanatory :p The audio is below.
