For those of you that don't recognise the connection to the radio enshrined in the image above, it's London's famous Walkie Talkie building in Fenchurch Street.
Last Sunday's show was an improvement on the week before but unfortunately still littered with glitches around transition time. In no particular order, there were two halves of a news bulletin to start with, an unplanned appearance by Bill Haley, half a weather forecast, some unnoticed contributions from family members and a handover from In Bed with TC that didn't take account of the fact that he was broadcast on Royal Borough Radio AND Radio Roadhouse UK. It wasn't quite a shambles but it was a little tense at key points.
The station is now growing very quickly and things will improve. Darren, the owner, has offered to teach me how to edit my own show. He says it's easy but, at this stage it feels like a hospital pass!
