Episode 12 (31 minutes running time)
It’s Saturday morning in Studio K (the kitchen) and…
Citronella and Adam Curry do the introductions to a very different Episode 12 which was recorded on an overcast Worcestershire Saturday.
Changes!
This week it’s a totally different format. I won’t pretend that I can write shorts on a weekly basis but I’d still appreciate it if you could let me know your views on this little departure.
We start with a narrative: a short story, love in a musical environment.
Our first track is from Deirdre Flint: The Boob Fairy Never Came for Me.
The second narrative is, unfortunately, all too true!
The second track is a parody of Kanye West’s Stronger – from Sudden Death called Longer.
We have a quick round up of Examination and car news from nearby realities before leaving with our third track, a brilliant mashup called Mash Me Amadeus.
Podcast admin:
Deirdre Flint and Sudden Death both come from the Podsafe Music Network, the mashup comes direct from DJ Schmolli.

Ohhhh… We like the short story, it was poignant – but descriptive of the clumsiness of younger boys and girls.
The first song was funny but the boob fairy did come for me. And your voice doesn’t sound as if you need anything Longer!
What you’ve done in this one is show a different world, emphasized how things are not the same. It was entertaining.

Given your love of music and your admiration for Nick Hornby, I would be intrigued to see your Desert Island selection.
If you’re up for it then I would ask you to abide by certain rules that differ from Radio 4’s format.
Firstly it needs to be based on albums as opposed to individual tracks or singles; and secondly none of your choices can be younger than one year old.
Of course you will need to also choose a book and a luxury item (though I suspect the latter might be a solar powered laptop with the most powerful wifi in Christendom).
Like most blokes I know, I have tried this a number of times in the past and it’s bloody difficult – but always revealing.
Harry, thanks for this. It’s a challenge that needs a bit more thought than I was inclined to give it at first shot! I’ll write a post on it – hopefully within the next 24 hours. Cheers.
Hi. This is really good. I understood the musical story better than anything else, I played in a high school band. I like the view of the place, it’s like a radio play. Very clever.
