I can’t believe it’s not the 95bFM top 10! Psych, it is! Everybody is sick this week! Iin his maiden voyage as solo-host, Callum is talking about babies! A sick Annabel phones in for a Jon impression; Tim Batt joins as co-host to share some radio hosting wisdom and baby banter; Callum plays an interview with Chabs and Milky ahead of their nationwide stream show tour; and Annabel phones back to share her high class thoughts about a low brow whisky… all the while counting down the biggest songs in the nation!

A public holiday special? Or a special public holiday? Perhaps both!
Explore the duality of breakfast content with the duo of Oscar and Liv.
For 3 hours. It'd be quite the endeavour, but you should try it! Its nutritional content is as follows; 75g of musical noise, 15g of dawdling dialogue, 5g of eating and another 5g of technological exploration. Wow! If that sounds like a bit of you, which of course it does, go ahead take a bite!
This was a special show for me, my last with top dawg Aneeka Moheed as my boss. Still coming back down to earth after last week's stellar performances by Exploding Rainbow Orchestra, I aired a bunch of faves I'd selected for my sets as their welcome deej. I also asked ace selector Aneeka to play a couple tunes toward the end of the show. Of course, she only picks the best!
