The Toad on Fresh Air
Yes indeed, people. In a few hours I shall be making my radio bow on Edinburgh University’s Fresh Air Radio, which I am sure will be a suitably terrifying experience. No matter how piss-easy I’m sure this stuff is (I mean, one button to play, one button to talk – hardly rocket science, surely) I nevertheless find myself completely certain I will manage to locate the self-destruct button somewhere on that array of knobs and levers and so on. And you’ve heard my podcasts they are hardly the most disciplined of ventures, so god knows what sort of a fiasco we could be in for.
Nevertheless, it seems like fun and they have been kind enough to give me a slot, so here goes. I’m on from 20.30 – 22.00, Tuesdays for the next four weeks, until the studio closes down again when the students are on holiday. Click on the listen live button on this page to tune in.
And, by way of jollying you along, here’s a song that I was intending to put on the playlist but couldn’t quite find the room for. Splendid track though.
Fishboy – Half Time at the Proper Name Spelling Bee
You’ll do anything with the word Fresh in it… tart!
Only an hour & a half? Poof.
