Ok, this was interesting - Gamel (Pugwash mag editor), Jacob (Pugwash/Pugwash News news editor) and I were squeezed into the Pure FM studios with Pure FM's Fred Bradley to put together our first Pugwash show. Here's what happened...
Tune in live here to see how it all goes...
Right, here we go...
- 13:05 - Fred's just told me we're not allowed to see how many listeners are listening to the show in case there's no-one listening and we decide to mess about on the air instead. As if we'd ever do that...!
- 13:15 - Gamel's just introduced the show on the air - he's spoken for the first time. Wahey!
- 13:18 - Gamel and Jacob are talking about People and Planet running around the University open day with (fake) guns. Everyone's a bit less nervous now - I think the hardest part's over for the newbies...
- 13:20 - Gamel's looking for Ash on Jazler, the jukebox. I'm cringing inside... ;o)
- 13:23 - I've just told Gamel & Jacob about this live blog. Now I'm just waiting to get slapped by them...
- 13:24 - Fred's just said "sweeper" and "jingle", and I'm glad my face isn't the only blank expression on the faces in the room. How's it going over there, Jacob...? ;o)
- 13:25 - Tallie, Pugwash reviews sub-ed, should have been doing the show today, but she's been AWOL all morning. We've just heard that her phone battery died and didn't wake her up. Numpty...!
- 13:27 - we're talking about the Apple iPhone...
- 13:28 - ... and now we're going to work out how many tins of beans you can buy for the cost of the Apple iPhone... (£269)
- 13:28 - Apparently it's 1,494 tins of own-brand baked beans. Bargain-tastic...?
- 13:29 - (Sorry for messing up Gamel and Jacob's chat - turn my microphone on!) We're looking for catering-sized tins of baked beans now. Fred's found a brand of beans that "cause less flatulence than Heinz beans", apparently...
- 13:31 - Hello to Kirsty Mitchell ;o) Kirsty's asking us to clarify the brand of beans, because the number of baked beans you can buy for the cost of an iPhone is much more important than coursework... ;o)
- 13:32 - Gamel: "let's talk about beans..." in his new airline pilot voice...
- 13:35 - we're going to talk about the new Saw movie and try to get more people to enter our beans competition (which definitely isn't a phone-in scam)
- 13:37 - I'm just popping out. Don't break the studio guys! Eww, they're talking about Saw IV - goryness...
- 13:42 - Ok, I'm back. What did I miss?
- 13:43 - Apparently, Gamel's a bit confused by all the whizz-bangery... Still, it's going well I think. How does it sound out there? (Dare I ask? ;o)
- 13:44 - We're looking for an Emo band to play a tune for Tallie. How about My Chemical Romance? ;o)
- 13:45 - Let's talk about the Naked Calendar... <grin>
- 13:46 - "Who's Kate Edmondson" quoth a listener. She's a former presenter of Pure FM, and can be found here on Wikipedia.
- 13:49 - Amy and Matt from the Amy and Matt show have just come into the studio. 'ello! :)
- 13:50 - Little tip: put your phones on "silent" when you're in the studio... Oops...
- 13:51 - Tallie's not happy about being labelled an Emo (sorry - in-joke). Jacob's going to get a kicking from her at the next editorial meeting, we think... ;o)
- 13:52 - ok, the first ever Pugwash show is almost over. It's been... err, emotional... Gamel wants to plan the future Pugwash shows in advance. Nahh, don't be silly...
- 13:54 - we're debating entering ourselves in to the "worst radio link on Pure FM ever" - we've got 4 1/2 minutes left to fill... ;o)
- 13:55 - e-mail your drawings of me in to live.studio@purefm.com - yeah, ta...
- 13:57 - and we're out of here. Thanks everyone for listening! We're back next week, 1pm on a Wednesday. Bye!
- Update: ahh, thanks for the drawing Tallie...:
