Show Notes: Late Night Luton 14/08/09
Well, last night was the first broadcasting of my new show “Late Night Luton”. What a fucking disaster! This show will be consigned to the depths of hell and only spoken about in hushed circles! The levels came out wrong, the feature died horrifically and the contributers were somewhat few and far between. But as promosed, here are the show notes!
Things kicked off with me putting out a triple header of topics:
1) Geoff Lloyd was listening to my test broadcast on Allan Lake’s station last week! Only 5 minutes of it, but listening all the same. This hence inspired the following topic: Are you a celeb, or if not, complete the following: “I’m a little bit of a celeb because…”. My own example was that I’d once got my name on teletext during the teletext quiz!
2) Odd places you’ve fallen asleep. Inspired by my youngest daughter who fell asleep in a swimming pool last week (without drowning thankfully)
3) If you were a food, what would you be and why- for every set of topics needs an easy one for everyone to phone in on.
I did then get a couple of calls- Christopher from West Wickham said he’s be a passion fruit as he likes to get passionate with men. (that may not have been a real caller actually). And Dane Bowers called up- it was hard to understand what he was saying, but I think I gathered he’d fallen asleep at a bus stop and if he were a food would be a pie! Again=- may not have been a real caller…
I then put out an appeal to the listener- is anyone willing to have their hair cut in a small mobile hairdressers on the A6 between Barton-le-Clay and Luton. No takers as of yet on that one but I stand by my word- if someone does it I’ll buy them a portion of chips.
I then moved onto the feature that could make or break the show: “Will you be my friend”. And if failed!!! The idea was a simple one- call people who’d set their status to “Skype Me!” and turn them into a listener. But nobody picked up, despite several attempts. So it was 10-15 minutes of me waiting for people to pick up a phone. Bad bad radio!
Then came Bleep Libel- I’d heard a rumour about Micheal Jackson and wanted people to guess what it would be. Lucky for me nobody took part so nobody got libelled!!! We then moved onto a desperate feature- calling Peter Chapman for a chat (yes, that’s desperation). He had the idea that I could pretend to be a paedophile and get angry people to call the show.
Thankfully then after a couple of songs 2 hours was over. Next week will be different!!! Or I’ll keep going until it gets different- I dunno.
