Ok, so this show wasn't exactly what I would call slick but that doesn't mean it wasn't fun. David and I talked a little bit more about Matilda, big news concerning Rastamouse, and did a Silly News segment that probably went on far too long but was pretty funny due to David's increasing despair and frustration with humanity. There was also the brand new single from Bono & The Edge from the musical Spider-Man: Turn Of The Dark and an utterly brilliant combination of the final speech in Charlie Chaplin's The Great Dictator and the music at the end of Inception to close the show.
Also included are small tributes to Bob Dylan, who turned 70 last week, and Gil Scott-Heron, who sadly died the day before the show.
For those of you who have a soft spot for David and live in the St. Albans area, he is performing tonight at The Goat Inn at 6:40. Be there or be a rectangular cuboid.
Speaking of David, he will be joining me in the studio next week!
Until then, please like the Facebook page and follow the show on Twitter!

Click Here To Listen To The Show
First of all: WE'RE BACK! We have found a new location to store the shows. The website we now use doesn not stream directly, like the old one did, but its a simple case of clicking the link to hear it.
Secondly, with the exception of Kathleen's guest appearance, this is probably the most fun I have had doing a show so far. According to some Christian radio network in America, the world was supposed to end. And it didn't. But that didn't stop me making fun out of it repeatedly! Especially when David made his customary phone call.
Also featured is a small tribute to "Macho Man" Randy Savage (complete with a dodgy impression of him), my despair and missing out on the opportunity to see Pendulum live, David and I reliving our childhood by listening to the song from Matilda, and an imaginary rap off between David and WWE performer John Cena. A very fun two hours.
See you all next week, what with us all still being here! Please like the Facebook page and follow the show on Twitter, and don't forget to tune in to the next show via the Radio LaB website or tuning into 97.1 FM if you're in the Luton area.

Technical Difficulties!
Hello all, just to let you know there probably won't be many podcasts of the shows for a while, if at all, due to an issue with storage. We'll try to get this sorted but the archives are run by the shows American producer Dow McKeever from his storage files and he is a busy man so this is isn't a priority for him. But he we has told me he will try and sort it when he can.
In the mean time, here is the latest recording, taken from the show that aired on the 7th of May. It is only the first hour, due to...you guessed it, lack of storage!
Will update this blog when recordings resurface. In the meantime, you can listen to the show live every Saturday from 10am till Noon GMT at http://www.beds.ac.uk/radiolab or if you are in the Luton area you can set your wireless to 91.1fm.

30th April 2011...Half Of It, Anyway
Click Here To Listen
This show was interesting to say the least. I had my best friend, one Jamie Slough (himself a presenter at the University of Hertfordshire's Crush Radio), in the studio with me, which was very fun. But we almost didn't have a show! A paperwork issue (ie lack of it) meant the security guard wasn't aware that I was going to be there, therefore he wouldn't let me into the building, despite pleas from two of our managers. But, being the stubborn sod that I am, I simply went back into the building through another entrance and went into the studio! (Shh, don't tell my manager)
It was also a pretty good week for Radio LaB itself, as the station was featured as Student Station Of The Week on the Steve Lamacq show on BBC 6 Music. There was an interview with Laura, one of our managers, and a 90 second trailer of our shows, featuring a recording from this shows bagpipes incident! To listen to it, click here and start playing it at the 1:43 mark.
This weeks show featured a selection of new music from unsigned acts courtesy of The Luton Scene, and also an interview with its creator Natalie Mason. This is a great project and is helping to get acts in and around Luton noticed and help get the music scene in the area strong again. Please check out its Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Blog and Soundcloud pages and check out the bands, including Natalie's own band Dead Cells.
Now, regarding the recording of the show itself. A technical issue meant that only hour two ended up getting recorded, but thats better than having no recording at all! Its a big shame as Dow McKeever, the man who archives and produces this show, had asked me to play a song of his that his wife had written, and I did...in the first hour! So I shall be playing it next week to make sure the woman who sings on the song, Christel Guarnieri, can hear her song get played on the radio. Also missing is a great conversation between Jamie, myself, and David with featured a bunch of silly news stories, and David's song pick, Silver by A Hundred Reasons. Again, shall play that next week to make up for it.
A big thank you to to Natalie for coming on the show to talk to us and to Jamie for coming to the studio (and showing me how to control the sound levels for my booming voice), I hope they'll both be back on the show soon.
