The Night Train®

It must be the end of the summer as we’re both in the studio! For the first time in a while. Press play to find out why we’ve been doing solo shows (SPOILER ALERT… it’s not that interesting).

To make sure we didn’t make any massive mistakes, it’s a standard show. Some dance-y stuff to begin with. A discomix in the middle and then a slow reduction in BPMs to finish the show.

There probably won’t be a (live) show on Sunday but we’ll try and dig something out to upload next week.

As always, get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix inquiries!

Evening. Steve here. Originally, I had planned to do a weirdo show for #401. Two hours of challenging music. Then I realised it was a Bank Holiday Weekend which is when we tend to have a few more live listeners. Felt a bit mean to hit ‘em with 120mins of music that some would call “unlistenable”. Instead, inspired by a post on Bsky by a pal who declared it to be a 1994 weekend, I thought “I’ll just take some records into the studio from that year and see what happens. This show is what happened.

The Bad News: The Sheffield Live website is down so we can’t upload the show with our waffle. So this is the show without us.

The Good News: The Sheffield Live website is down so we can’t upload the show with our waffle. So this is the show without us.

So this is show #400 and what better way to celebrate the occasion than with a show that doesn’t have either of the hosts on it. A benefit of this is we can upload it in heavyweight 320Kbps. We should say, if you’re not a fan of reggae, best sit this one out.

Finally! Back in the studio to deliver 2 hours of “fantastic” radio. The summer is always tricky as we’re away more often than we’re on the air. Not that you lot would know, as you’re The Listen Again Crew. We like you though, as you sometimes message us nice things about the show a few weeks after broadcast. Which is nice.

This week’s show is a little different. Steve had an existential crisis while making it, so he’s mixed it up. A bit. It’s not massively different.

DO NOT ADJUST YOUR PODCAST SET! There wasn’t a show yesterday. We don’t like leaving you with nothing so we thought we’d take this week to hip you to a Bsky pal, Sean, who’s got a show on Love Will Save The Day FM.

Sean’s monthly show is called Suspended in Air, which is very good. This isn’t one of those shows though. It’s a one-off he did for Easter. 

Same as this week, potentially back next week with a show. If there isn’t, we’ll upload something for you folks to keep you going until we return.

Howdy folks. Finally, a normal show! Yes, we’re aware that we’re the ones that keep choosing daft themes. Please look past that. Also, is a show without a theme actually a theme? Who knows?

So, the show. You know it’s a gem when there’s extensive homework notes to include for the Listen Again Crew. Honestly though, this stuff is great. You should check it out.

Potentially back next week with a show. If there isn’t, we’ll upload something for you folks to keep you going until we return.

OK. We forgot that this week was going to be 45s show. But, we had already done some prep to make it less painful!

The plan for this show was “2 hours of songs from places that aren’t The UK or The USA”. That’s not a very catchy name so we’ve gone for “Global Sounds on 45s” which we can all agree is a MUCH better name.

We were both going to be playing records but in the end, Steve made Paul do all the work on the decks while he did show admin. You’ll probably agree that this worked out well.

Hopefully we will be back next week with a normal show.

Howdy folks. Here’s our tribute to Sly Stone, who passed away a couple of weeks ago. It’s a bit late but that’s due to reasons that are lost to the midsts of time/are too boring to bring up.

We’ve picked some of the hits and some of the (many) songs that sampled him over the years. It’s made with love, despite how ramshackle and under-researched links are. We say in the show, if you wanna know more about the man, you should checkout Questlove’s doc, Sly Lives!
