  • #225 TNT DOOM SPECIAL (10th Jan 2021)

    On New Years Eve, the news broke of the passing of DOOM. It only seemed right to make a tribute show for Metal Face.

    We're not talking on this one which (believe it or not) presents it's own challenges. Hopefully we've managed to make a mix that keeps you entertained for two hours. It covers 1989-2019 which TBH is pretty damn impressive for a rapper to stay relevant. Guess that's why DOOM was your rappers favourite rapper.

    Remember! You can also get in touch to ask for request or shout-out at;

  • #224 TNT Guest Mixes! (3rd Jan 2021)

    Happy New Year one and all! (Are we too far past 1st Jan to say that?). We hope you're all well and have had a safe festive period. Due to bad planning on our behalf, we didn't record in 8 Wheels Studio last week. Instead, what we've got for you is an hour of TNT mixes we've done for people!

    The 1st 30mins is our NYE mix for Chris Welch's Sounds Like This. The 2nd 30mins is an all soul 45s guest mix we did for A Casual Affair.

    We're planning on gettin' back behind the mic (and wheel) this week with a DOOM special.

    Drop us a message with a favourite track or feature at nighttrain93.2[at]gmail[dot]com or https://www.twitter.com/RadioNightTrain on the tweets.

  • #223 Best of 2020! (27th Dec 2020)

    Finally! It's what the world has been waiting for... another "Best of" show from two chancers on Community Radio.

    It's been a strange year (we probably don't need to tell you that) so finding new music has been a bit different this year. We still managed to find some and cobbled together this show from our home studios (spare rooms). Hopefully we'll be back in 8 Wheels Studio for the 1st show of 2021.

  • #140 TNT Christmas Special! (23rd December 2018)

    Due to reasons, there wasn't a show from 8 Wheels Studio yesterday. Instead we broadcast the music from this show. As folks like to hear our on-air-chemistry, we're uploading the actual show from 2018.


    It's 120 minutes of songs with a festive lilt. Soundtrack the eating of sprouts with annoying family members with our festive picks. Guaranteed to cause some strange looks from loved ones.

    We're hopefully gonna be back next week with our Best of 2018 show... get in touch if you've got anything that's been floating your boat.

    f you like what you hear join us live (almost) every Sunday 9pm-11pm on SheffieldLive! 93.2fm, via the TuneIn Radio App or www.sheffieldlive.org

    Get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix inquiries! We're also available for family functions, weddings, funerals, boat launches and more.

  • #222 Global Sounds Special 2 aka Country Chaos (13th Dec 2020)

    We promised it, and here it is! 1,432 since part one, it’s our Global Sounds Special pt 2 “Country Chaos”.


    Recorded on a wet night in 8 Wheels Studio*, this show is an audio adventure taking in spots around the world for 2 hours of music that isn’t from The UK or The US. This kind of show is a lot of fun to make and even more fun trying to pronounce all the names of the artists.


    This week there’s a lot of homework/procrastination fodder/bonus material to get your chops around. Perfect if you’re just clock watching until you’re off for Christmas.


    One thing of note, if you’re reading this on the day of upload, be sure to wish Paul a happy birthday!

  • Sounds Like This Vs The Night Train

    There weren't enough hours to get our show done last week, so we had a week off. Fear not Listen Again Crew, we've got you covered!


    We're giving you a chance to listen to our guest appearance on Sounds Like This with Chris Welch.


    Chris has been on Sheffield Live since the beginning. Which explains why he's a lot more polished than our shambles of a show.


    He's on air Sundays 5-7pm. on Sheffield Live. Now into its 13th year, the show covers the upfront and classic from soul to house to afro-latin tackle and everything in between!


    It's a staple in both our houses on a Sunday night. Perfect listening for when you're cooking.


    https://www.mixcloud.com/soundslikethisradio/

    https://www.facebook.com/soundslikethisradio


    After a lot of big talk going back and forth between two of Sheffield Live's finest Sunday evening shows, we decided to mark 13 years of Sounds Like This and 5 years of The Night Train with a versus.


    Categories included: 'I cleared the floor with this but I stand by it' and 'Secret Weapon' amongst others.


    It was a lot of fun, arguably a score draw and no need for scuffles in the Paternoster Row car park to settle the debate.

    Morning everyone! Sorry this is a day late. We're not sure if there are listeners that rely on us to perk up their Monday. If there is, apologies. We will work hard to make sure there isn't a delay any more.


    Anyway, in another dispatch from 8 Wheels Studio* we discuss 1999, Fela Kuti, past guest mixes and live-stream DJ sets.

    Slightly later than planned, it's a return to 8 Wheels Studio* to bring you the best late-night community radio show recorded from two cars!

    This week there isn't a theme but that doesn't stop us pulling together another fantastic show of music from the last 80+ years. The night was cold but the chat was hot. Don't believe us, just press play.

  • #218 5th Birthday! (8th Nov 2020)

    We know. We're as shocked as you are. At no point did we think we'd last 5 years, let alone have anyone care!

    To celebrate half a decade in community broadcasting, we've pushed the boat out for a very special TNT. This show has it all, we've really pushed the boundaries of broadcasting*
