Well however you want to look at it, er, listen to it, it's just gone live on Listen Again. http://pod.streamer1.com/index.php?p=home

Hmm, live on Listen Again? Isn't that another contradiction in terms?

A very special show for me this week. 5 years ago today, excitement was definitely in the air, as, after a lot of hard work, Eric Van Wilegen and Roger Davis succeeded in bringing the Big L back to 1395KHz AM. About lunchtime, the generator fired up, switches were thrown, and radios tuned to 1395 crackled back into life, with the sound of The Big L! That evening, new schedules were launched and several new presenters, myself included joined the station and geared up for new shows. My first show aired in the early hours the next day.

So, this week, we'll be looking back to that time 5 years ago. We'll also have a long song from the Carpenters. Tony Hancock and the Barron Knights will bring a radio related smile. A radio related choice for our Hour Two Opener vote. We'll take you back to 1982 for our 5-from-10 Chart Recall. Plus, as ever your emails and requests, maybe even some of your memories of 5 years ago.

Far too many people to thank to list here, but, thanks in particular go to Eric, for bringing back 1395 and bringing me on board. To Roger, for keeping everything going and putting up with me all this time. Also, thanks to Chirpy, one of the finest broadcasters to have played a part in the station during these past 5 years, for all his help, continuous support and friendship.

Hope to see you, live @7pm.

Thanks Chris. I did! Totally manic but great fun and great memories. Nice to have Eric tuning in too!

Thanks Alec too! For once I wasn't out of time, timed the finish perfectly. Only taken 5 years to get it right!

This week: A long song from The Nice. William Shatner and Peter Sellers will be along to bring a smile. Will you believe the choices for our Hour Two Opener vote? We'll take you right back to 1956 for our 5-from-10 Chart Recall. Plus, as ever, your emails and requests, live from 7pm. See you then! :D

With apologies for the gremlin @ Frinton last night. The pure, unadulterated show is now on Listen Again, with no extraneous noises, silences and definitely no Hocus Pocus. http://pod.streamer1.com/index.php?p=home

No, I think we've nailed our gremlin!

Why did the gremlins choose Big L as their favorite station in 2005 to cause problems? :(

This week, a long song from Geyster. Kenneth Williams and Stan Freberg will be along to bring a smile. Will we be looking forward to Christmas, or getting a good reception for our Hour Two Opener vote? We'll take you back to 1963 for our 5-from-10 Chart Recall. Plus, as ever, your emails and requests, live from 7pm. See you then! :D

Thanks Alec. Think we made it through in one piece tonight, but I must get one of those elastic clocks! My timing was all over the place as usual.
