In the Channel Orange Radio Show Finale, Maddie and Sam present the Channel Orange Awards. Using a tournament structure, we decide the album of the year. Following this, we present several more awards including guest and fan of the year.

In the fourteenth and final (ordinary) episode of STAR's Channel Orange radio show on STAR, our guest Finn decides between Pavement's Crooked Rain Crooked Rain, and this week's Guardian pick: Lana Del Rey's Chemtrails Over the Country Club.

With the score at 7-4, the Guardian can't win but they could catch up one last point. We want to end on a high though, listen to see if we succeed.

Episode thirteen of STAR Radio's Channel Orange radio show sees us  talk with Miles about Rejjie Snow's Dear Annie followed by the Guardian's album of the week, the excellent 'Conflict of Interest' by Ghetts.

We're still winning 7-3 against The Guardian as it stands, but with two wins in a row for the guardian, the pressure is rising.

In episode twelve of STAR'S Channel Orange radio show, George talks with us about Nico's Chelsea Girl and the Guardian's pick: Nick Cave's Carnage. With our oldest recommendation yet, from a Velvet Underground collaborator, and another great pick from the Guardian, another close fight is in store.

The score sits uneasily at 7-2, as the Guardian have the chance to cement their comeback.

In the eleventh episode of the Channel Orange radio show on STAR, our guest Liv judges between Cosmo Pyke's Just Cosmo, and the Guardian's pick: Arlo Parks' Collapsed in Sunbeams. Both debut releases, and both brilliant, this one will go down to the wire.

The score is 7-1, but with a strong effort like this, the tide could be turning.

In the tenth episode of STAR Radio's Channel Orange radio show, since Maddie was busy, Sam goes live and answers questions from listeners, while counting down his favourite songs from each of the last seven decades.

In the ninth episode of STAR Radio's Channel Orange radio show, we have a listen to Australia's King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard and compare it to the Guardian's album of the week, the sophomore album of electronic duo Bicep; 'Isles'. John Kite returns as guest for a second time.

The Guardian is now losing 6-1, and we're starting to wonder if they even care about this competition.

In our last episode of the semester, Maddie and Sam square off in a game of music knowledge, whilst listening to some great songs along the way.

In the seventh episode of STAR Radio's Channel Orange radio show, Emily Jones listens with us to Del Water Gap's latest EP; Don't Get Dark, as well as the Guardian's album of the week, a legend's return; 'Letter to You' by Bruce Springsteen.

We stand at 5-1 against The Guardian, but surely if anyone can turn the tide it's Bruce Springsteen?

In the sixth episode of STAR Radio's Channel Orange radio show, we talk with Iona Ward and Katie Golub about Boy Pablo's (almost) eponymous EP Soy Pablo. The guardian's album of the week is Song Machine by Gorillaz.

Slight technical issues affected this episode. However, these sections have been cut out. Unfortunately, this does mean this episode is shorter than usual.
