Not a lot has happened today really although this will be the case for the next few months. I'm still sneezing although my throat pain now seems to have vanished.
I've recived quite a few e-mails in the last few days from people at Uni asking to find material for submitting in this years Student Radio Awards, which take place in November. Goodlass and Marshall have asked me to go through their barrage of "funny" material as I believe they want to submit their show for an award. The next few days will probably involve listening to a large selection of mock celebrity interviews, German love advice and prank phone calls that are lacking hooks. It's all a bit of fun though and I should take into account that the duo along with Ross Tilley will be my bosses at the station from September!
On the other hand I have listened to a selection of audio from our competitors and in all fairness some of their material is actually very good. One example is Sport On Saturday from LSR in Leeds which I personally think puts our sports show to shame in terms of features, production and especially the choice of music. I mean compare the above to our efforts here (sorry Ali).
Overall you learn from the best and maybe next year things will certainly get better with the freshers arriving.
The weather here is still rather poor although I get rather excited when the rain is heavy, as being on the top floor of my house means that I get a sound similar to rain pouring on a tent or caravan on holiday! I haven't been in a tent for years actually although that's probably an advantage really.
