This week's indie comedy special includes the new single by Fractious Nit and an interview with pop twinnock Rex Twix. Madonna and Morrissey will be arguing in the kitchen, and there's another mention of New Malden as well as an uncanny reference to steam engines. We're still looking for people to take part in our new game show Get in the Sideboard with a Crazed Lion, so do contact us on this number. There's also the first episode of an amazing new science fiction adventure serial, so it's very unfortunate that this is the last programme of the series.

On this week's programme, there's a very special interview which we can't tell you too much about because we've forgotten who it's with. Acclaimed non-Frinton-based actress Anna Emerson will also be saying several words, and guest star Reg Chimpolomew will be doing very little. There's also the ongoing adventures of Basil the Cylinder, the answer's to last week's holdall-based quiz, and a whole host of other fabulous things which we've also forgotten about.

On this week's show, you’ll not only hear a combine harvester but also a specially-built giant catapult. Guests include acclaimed actors Greg Haiste and Anna Worthington, as well as the less acclaimed Crazy Eric and Leonard Aircraft. There's a feature on old bits of bark off trees, and extensive information about shoe shop logistics. Plus: will the gasman read the meter in time? The programme also comes with a free hat stand for all your hat standing needs. Lucky you.

In today’s edition of t'Nowt to do Wi' Owt Show, why not join in with our agricultural singalong? There's also the sound of a tree falling over and spaceships for all the family. This week's show is presented by John Dredge, who not only presents the show this week, but every week in fact. So put your feet up, sit back and deactivatatronalize for another load of audio fun and plinths.

In the second of her shows leading up to her solo debut at the 2012 Edinburgh Fringe, award-winning comic and former psychotherapist Taylor Glenn interviews stand-up Ben Van Der Velde about being a Jewish Geordie, the thrill of improvisation, and cross-dressing.

Taylor's Edinburgh show, Reverse Psycomedy, is on at the Gilded Balloon Turret Room from August 1st to 26th. For more information and an up-to-date gig list, visit http://www.taylorglenncomedy.com/gigs.html.

This week's long-range programme comes to you from a burgon dispensing plant in Frinton, and includes fabulous adventures concerning artichokes and a special mention of New Malden for fans of New Malden. There's an unedited interview with a slightly odd person, and one of Britain’s oldest actors makes a special appearance inside a fish tank. Come, listen hither to our green inflatable audio extravaganza presented by John 'Radios' Dredge, fifth in line to the throne at Woolworths.

NEW!! In tonight's holdall-packed episode, Frinton TV's Twig Harper will be presenting the first of a 200-part series about something or other. There's also the first ever appearance on radio of an alarm clock with a tuba nailed to the side, and a Dalek will be appearing as himself. Plus find out what to do if a bowler hat is fired at you from a cannon. All this and a genuine policeman tonight on tonight's collection of audio accoutrements tonight, presented by string consultant and banjo tuner to the Royal Family, John Dredge, tonight.
