The Broadcasting legend that is Nick Robins is back on the air at BBC Radio Stoke after his hols!

I for one am looking forward to more must listen, completely mad radio, especially with the return of Travel Maestro Simon Masters.
Listen Live 1pm-4pm on BBC Radio Stoke at http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/mainframe.shtml?http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/stoke.shtml

In his absence, his highly amusing take off of Eminems "My name is....." made fun of on BBC Radio 1s Scott Mills Show, Listen on the unofficial Scott Mills Site at http://www.unofficialmills.co.uk/audio/dailyclips/november2007/13-11-2007-eminem.mp3

The Recycled Glass Bottle Xylophone

mmmmmm.....
Last week saw me let loose on the airwaves on Andy Whittaker's Breakfast Show on BBC Radio Nottingham, for which I am normally only allowed to answer phones, make tea, let guests in and stuff!
A lady had a shed full of glass bottles that she couldn't get to a recycling bin.
When my comments to the producer of the programme that a recycled glass Xylophone could be made were met with some scepticism, I did it, recorded the consequences and sent them to him.
It was quite a shock when I was invited onto the (News based!) show to demonstrate it!
Not only were compliments and comments coming in by the end, but it was to end up in the highlights of the week show - even though it was (Quite literally) a load of rubbish!
It may be comforting to those with sensitive ears that I doubt I will be allowed a microphone (On a station that a reasonable number of people may be listening to / offended by!) again for some time!
