Solid Radio

Join us for A Wee Natter, the radio show about the not so important issues of the day. This week we kick off being deeply affected by the Prime Minister not having Sky TV when he was a kid. That then prompts Marc to ask what was your "back in the day" story?

With the european football stuff happening at the moment, Marc plays some cheeky song choices and gets you to pick the best England football song. Which one did you choose?

While the football may have distracted us, Marc finally remembered it was Father's Day. Could he get you out of trouble for forgetting? Only one way to find out!

As much as we don't want to end up on a downer, but the Summer Solstice is almost here. Who do we complain to about the lack of summer so far? Is it time to crack out the rain dance in the hope is doesn't work?

In this week's edition of Elected we take on the not-so-serious topic of bulk orders. There's nothing worse than the person in front of you at the chippie raiding the place of stock. Marc proposes a real solution to this heart-wrenching problem.

The Super Shonky Sunday Quiz returns with a trip into the art world. Do you know your painters and can you figure out who created the Mona Lisa?

Marc also takes a look at the Royal Family and their penchant for having more than one birthday. It's often used as an excuse to give our honours. So who would you give them out to and why? That then leads us on to something a bit unusual going on in Edinburgh.

Join us for A Wee Natter, the radio show about the not so important issues of the day. We start by noting that putting the monarch on the new bank notes is the obvious and boring thing to do. So who or what would you put on the new notes instead? After you choose the music in Covers vs Originals, Jenny shares some of her cultural experience after exploring the US East Coast. Turns out eggs are an alarmingly complicated thing to order in the morning, even if they're going to be nicked by the local wildlife.

As a bit of a change of pace, we then look back towards Blighty and tackle one of the problems that is plaguing the country. This then turns into a pitch for a new TV series.

In this week's edition of Elected, we finally find a solution to those people who insist on sharing their awful taste in music. Will it work? Only one way to find out! The catch is that it could expand into a conversation about what's hot hits in the local nursing home.

Our weekly quiz returns with a visit to the world of pandas. Do you know what a group of them is called? Can you get the answer before we end up discussing a loaf of bread?

We then move onto hotels struggling with theft and expand out into some of the things you've seen stolen in other parts of life.

Join us for A Wee Natter, the radio show about the not so important issues of the day. We start by chatting about those songs that remind you of people and things. The odd bit is that it's never the song you expect!

Covers vs Originals returns with you picking between the Kinks and Kirsty Maccoll. Which version of Days will play at half past seven? And talking of songs, apparently there's a song on the playlist that was on Jenny & Marc's wedding playlist. Can you figure out which one it is?

Off the back of an announcement that Super Spoons is coming to quench the thirst of northerners, we try to come up with a new super hero for Sherwood Forest. Robin Hood has his place but we need a new hero for the 21st century. Jenny then tries to turn into a 21st century hero by tackling the problem of window seats in cafes.

In this week's instalment of Elected we tackle the issue of high street banks disappearing. Are banking hubs the solution or is Marc's idea better? In the Super Shonky Sunday Quiz we then find out if your geography is any good. Turns out it is! The discussion of clean air in Greenland then leads on to a discussions around unwanted gas emissions.

With both Eurovision and the northern lights appearing last night, we take a quick look at both of them. Though admittedly, being radio, actually seeing them will be a challenge!

Join us for A Wee Natter, the radio show about the not so important issues of the day. We start by finding out about the things you're a proper geek for. While we're not Star Wars or Star Trek experts, we find out Jenny is a real fan of Brookside. We then hand the power of the playlist over to you in Covers vs Originals. Which version of Handbags and Gladrags will you vote for?

With the music sorted, we then go on to deliver a public service in reminding you it's a bank holiday tomorrow and you might not want to turn up to work. Suitably chilled by this news, Jenny share the story of something she overheard on the bus to work.

In this week's edition of Elected we tackle the problems of Eurovision. Do we have a way for Britain to win every time or a direct path to "null points"? Either way, your suggestions take it to the next level before exercising your grey matter in the Super Shonky Sunday Quiz.

As a bit of a palette cleanser after that tough quiz, we then inspect the progress on the hunt for the Loch Ness Monster. Turns out there's more to the mystery than we ever thought possible! The mysteries continue when Jenny tells us about another conversation she heard on the bus.

Join us for A Wee Natter, the radio show about the not so important issues of the day. We start by touching on the things you love to do but are just a bit rubbish at. After reminiscing about The Generation Game, we ask you what cuddly toy you still sleep with. Go on, be honest with us!

Whatever your answer, it turns out you're experts in all sorts of weird and wonderful stuff. That prompts us to put you in charge of the music in Covers vs Originals.

As part of pretending to sound like serious news journalists, we chat with a couple of the East Midlands Mayor candidates. Turns out we don't do a very good impression of properly trained journalists so we go back to chatting with you about Kids TV shows.

Jenny then shares a story about flat pack furniture and the difficulty in putting it together. Turns out experts exist to help you with these things!

We further test your expertise with the Super Shonky Sunday Quiz. Can you tell us what the smallest planet in the solar system is? Either way, we demonstrate our lack of expertise discussing the Mansfield Town Football Club's open top bus tour.

Join us for A Wee Natter, the radio show about the not so important issues of the day. We kick off this episode with preparations for St George's Day. Does England have a national anthem? We then go from the nightmares of a country to the nightmares of our listeners.

The conversation then opens up with you to find out about the things you love doing but are not so good at. We crack on making this radio show and asking you to pick between our covers and originals. Turns out DIY capers are a common theme.

The conversation then goes off the rails when we explore the problems with time travel. Surprisingly it's not the tropes you already know about that we touch on. We then move onto a celebration of National Tea Day.

Elected returns with some new rules for BREAKING NEWS alerts on your phone. Our Sunday Quiz also returns with a visit to the world of Top Cat. This then expands into a discussions about the world of Internet famous cats.

We then go on to look at how everything is 5 out of 5 stars nowadays which in turn generates a complaint. Will we survive? Only one way to find out!

Things come to an end with Jenny's experience encountering cows.

Join us for A Wee Natter, the radio show about the not so important issues of the day. We kick off with a discussion about the things that blow your mind. How did they work out that the moon controls the tides? The conversation then moves on to your weird and wonderful confessions.

Despite Marc presenting the show solo, the usual stuff continues with you deciding which version of Tainted Love plays in Covers vs Originals. We then look at a confession Amazon made about their fancy AI powered supermarkets. This might trigger a rant about AI from Marc.

Elected returns with your suggestion for a law that requires all tins to have ring-pulls on them. We then have a go at the quiz. Did you get the answer right?

We then explore the world of marriage and how messy name changes are. Oh, and we send an invite to the main East Midlands mayoral candidates onto the show. Will they take it up? Find out in a future episode!

Join us for A Wee Natter, the chatshow/talkshow/podcast about the not so important issues of the day. We kick off by mentioning the celebration of St Gertrude, the patron saint of cats. Oh, and some other smaller thing called St Patrick's Day.

We then move not so swiftly on to conspiracy theories. But not the big ones. We want to know about the daft wee ones you believe in! And talking of conspiracies, Jenny out of the blue let us know that she really wants to try out Irish dancing.

We then nip into the kitchen to make a tea only to be overwhelmed by bags for life. That then prompts us to look into another conspiracy. Are bags really for life?

As Casualty passes a new milestone, we explore the highs and lows of watching medical TV shows. That then leads us onto a trip on the busses and down memory lane. We then go even further back to the start of Facebook which is 20 years ago now!

After our usual quiz and Elected! segments, we then look at a titanically bad idea that someone keeps having. That's before Jenny implores us to look at what's in a name.

Join us for A Wee Natter, the chatshow/talkshow/podcast about the not so important issues of the day. It's Mother's Day this week as we help you to cover for the fact you totally forgot about it! Talking of forgetfulness, we then moved onto the addictions we both admit and don't admit to.

Marc then makes a massive screw-up and starts a trend that continues throughout the show. In an attempt to cover up, we then have a patriotic moment. Things turn for the worse again when we chat about all the ways we used to get in trouble as kids. Compared to one kid we heard about this week, we were all rather tame!

With the live show landing on the same night as the Oscars, we make up our own movie awards that film makers probably don't want on their mantlepieces.

Even with the night being a special one, we still continue to build the people's manifesto in Elected and ask a somewhat untimely question in the out of date quiz. We then go on to discover a mystery safe in the bungalow. Can you guess the combination to open it?

Join us for A Wee Natter, the chatshow/talkshow/podcast about the not so important issues of the day. In this week's episode we kick things off with a quick look at the Brit Awards and how these sort of things tend to make you wish you had the skills.

Talking of good intentions, we then explore those things we bought years ago, used once or twice, then end up sitting in a cupboard. Jenny then remembers something from her childhood that popped up on the Internet.

With the leap day this week, we look at some of the traditions surrounding it and even suggest some new ones of our own.

Elected and the infamous quiz return as always. Though this time, we come up with a test for proving whether a relationship is strong enough to survive a marriage. Can we hear wedding bells or will it be a divorce settlement for this one?

We then look into doing good things for charity while someone else takes the credit. And in an attempt to make things more upbeat, Jenny swiftly moves us on to Gavin and Stacey.
