Tom Barnett & David Jani, Producer Jo O’Keeffe, Wednesdays 1430-1500: The creators of video killed the radio star (don’t you know?) are back with something even more AMAZING and MEGALOLZworthy (not that thats saying an awful lot), bringing a spoof-magazine show to the hallowed airwaves on xpress radio - cardiffs premier (and award winning blah blah) student radio station. We’ve got features such as “Daves Top 5″, “Heroes in 60 seconds”, “The Weekly Review” (for those out there who liked video killed the radio star), “The Apprentice: The Musical” and so much more you won’t believe we can fit it in to half an hour! (even though we, er, can and by quite a bit actually). We hope you’ll tune in at 2.30pm until 3.00pm on Wednesdays and allow us to bring you your weekly dose of fact.
This week we take an irreverent look at the world of music. Featuring Dave’s Top 5 Musical moments, Tom’s Guide to Music, An interview with the up-and-coming avant-hipster band The Salt and Vinegar Crips and also a loving retelling; then ripping up of R-Kelly’s ‘I believe I can fly’. In which we tackle the important philosophical debate of whether R-Kelly should be granted a pilot’s license or not?
In this weeks episode, the guys decide to take up the very noble cause of Comic Relief, and also have a topical show theme for the first time.
Marvel at Dave’s top 5 red noses, and Tom’s weekly guide to Comic Relief. Not to mention Dave and Tom’s brave (and ultimately flawed) pledge drive. All that and MUCH more
This week’s show features all manner of fun oddities including:
- a review of m.i.a’s paper planes lyric by lyric, blow by blow. HOT SHIT!
- daves top 5 bad films. EXPLOSIVE!
- the weekly complaint ft. andy swidenbank of the rant in quench. WOW!
- Johnny Bigtime - The Interview II. VITAL!
- toms Weekly Guide to going to the Dentist. USEFUL!
- plus the usual skins in 60, weekly hero and all that gubbins. SPECTACUFUCKINGLAR!
Today’s show orientates around beer, cider and real ale (after our business special last week an obvious choice) in celebration of the Cardiff Uni real ale and cider festival going on in the Great Hall.
So we have Dave’s top 5 crisps, Tom’s guide to pubs, Smiffy’s world of ale, a review of The Wurzels - cider drinker, a weekly complaint about, er, idiot glasses plus the usual Skins in ‘60, hero of the week and so on and so forth.
“Goldiggers tend to stick to older men where the relationship is, to be fair, a business transaction more than anything. It makes good sense as they’re going to die soon anyway”
Our business special, packed full of business related goodies (a weekly review of Money Money Money by Abba, Tom’s guide to leafletters and the Weekly Summit Business News Review as well as so much more).
“As far as Enrique’s going, he’s saying ‘yeah you could say anything with questions, but I don’t care. My religion doesn’t encourage question it relies $on plainly stupid stupid statements”
The weekly summit saga continued this week on xpressradio.co.uk or, if you were in the Cardiff area, 87.7fm!
As ever there was a lyrical review of Hero by Enrique Iglesias, Toms Guide to Barbers, Daves Top 5 Romantic Gifts as well as Quintin on Clintons, Skins in 60, The Weekly Complaint featuring Andy Swidenbank (from Quench - THE RANT) as well as loads more.
I think in reality Cruella De’Ville’s Plan was perfect down to every detail. And in reality, I believe, she would have set up a very successful chain of stores, perhaps with a 101 stores?
The show makes a return for the new year with a slightly changed format, 60 minutes of airtime, a host of new features and little technical tweeks and a massively deminished budget. Today the chaps consider which is the best sandwich filling, in Dave’s Top 5, Tom offers a step by step guide to Dog the Bounty Hunter, the boys discuss the merits of the ballard that is ‘She Bust my windows’, a lyrical masterpiece by Trey Songz. As if that wasn’t enough we hear the first Weekly complaint from ‘Angry’ Andy Swidenbank, and Dave and Tom take the films, Titanic and 101 Dalmations, back to the drawing board.
Tom: “Father Christmas could be responsible for the deaths of many innocent of children! He must be stopped!”
Dave: “That was our hero of the week anyway…”
In our final episode of this current series, we offer a mixture of good tidings and seasonal cynacism. Witness Dave’s Top 5 Christmas specials, a review of the racial supremicist masterpiece ‘White Christmas,’ the guys look over the budget cuts for the next series and in an exciting twist: the as-yet unheard time-keeper for the show, Jo “Josephina” O’Keefe, makes a very special guest appearance.
“We’ve had four emails! We’re a hit!”
In a special live two hour special of the show, We present the prestigous Weekly Summit man of the year prize, Dave has a very heated Fireside chat with Smiffy from Sport-Talk. As if that wasn’t enough we have all our usual features plus some special one-offs.
Dave: “Why don’t we have some intelligent debate about football, that’s what we’re here for!”
Tom: “I don’t know how Smiffy and Jonno deal with it?”
In a very special episode of the show we take a look at the world of sport. Witness Dave and Tom ruining their chances of a gig on mainstream radio station when covering The Smiffy and Jonno call-in show on Sport-talk, Dave’s top 5 sports and crucially a guest spot from Jimmy Hill!
