Topic: The Radio Thread

@Draco_V_Ecliptic I listened to some of last week's Late Junction, which was a space themed episode. They certainly captured that theme well. It was very surreal and alien like, very out of this world.

I wasn't so keen on the music there, but that might just be due to the space theme. I also had a quick glance at the episode before that one, and enjoyed it a lot more. So it's probably worth me giving the show another chance at some point.

@crimsontadpoles Yeah, I really enjoyed that episode too, I generally enjoy them. Yeah, definitely give it another chance, I think Verity Sharp's programs are more carefully curated than those of Jennifer Lucy Allan, if that helps. I think she has a broader taste in music, nothing against Jennifer, she's great too.

@crimsontadpoles Did you listen last Friday night? Or to the podcast? What did you think? ,if you listened.

@Draco_V_Ecliptic Not yet, I forgot all about it. If there's time tomorrow then I might listen to some of it then.

@nessisonett Do you ever listen to any other shows on 6music besides Craig Charles? I quite like Iggy Confidential & Stuart Maconie's Freak Zone, do you ever listen to either of those?

@Draco_V_Ecliptic I haven’t really listened to much radio in lockdown. Honestly, I listen to it primarily playing Euro Truck Simulator 2 since I don’t drive irl and it gets me in the mood. I love James Acaster’s show though, I’m a big fan of his comedy and podcasts and he gets some good guests on to share their favourite kinds of music. Particularly enjoyed hearing about Death Grips on BBC Radio, felt a bit surreal.

@nessisonett Iggy Pop has played Behemoth and Wasted Shirt on BBC radio, Stuart Maconie has played Oranssis Pazuzu (Finnish psych-black metal) on the same station.

Lately, I've been listening to the radio more often. I find it's easier to concentrate with work if I have it on quietly in the background. Radio 6 is my preferred station, though Radio 2 can be fun when Ken Bruce is doing Pop Master (even though I'm hopeless at that quiz).

@crimsontadpoles Who do you like on Radio 6? Sorry I know this response is rather out-of-date, only just checked up on this thread.

I have been listening to lots of Radio 4 recently since losing interest in music, and the World Service as well, obviously.

@TheBrandedSwordsman Not sure. I tend to just have it on in the background occasionally when working, so I don't take too much notice of the different presenters.

@nessisonett Just thought I'd have a go at resurrecting this thread with a question. Do you ever listen to Jazz FM? What do you think of the stuff they play on there?

@TheBrandedSwordsman I honestly haven’t listened to that station. I haven’t listened to the radio in a while just because of being stuck at home and stuff.

I listen to the radio not so often, but sometimes I turn on the Art of Now in the background

@Voltan I know you like your jazz-rock and jazz-metal most of the time these days but give this a try for the sake of the classics sometime and let me know what you think!

Wait, there is a Splinter Cell radio drama on Radio 4 tomorrow?! Did not see that one coming!
