This week, just as we've thawed out, "Snowtime" is this weeks topic. So, why not wrap up warm and join me in the snow, with your topical tracks, live from 2pm. Featuring the Topical Last Bite and Tricker's Tricky Topical Teaser. It could be the best one yetti!

Cookie- This afternoon I was listening to your Cookie Live on Big L show-in my car- on the move in Mansfield- via Android Auto which has come with the new car. I found it great to be able to listen to your show in fantastic stereo quality and on the move. There were no dropouts- the coverage was excellent via Vodafone 4G. Surely this is the future of car radio????

Good to know you were enjoying the show on the move BigJohn. Certainly seems to be the future and not so distant future either. I only have a 3g phone (EE network) and I can still listen in excellent quality, on a drive, between Bognor and Bracknell, 63 miles, with just one or two short drop-outs. The 32k Opus or 48k AAC feeds are ideal for mobile use.

There's a place, is our Topic for this weeks Topical Tuesday. Records about places, specific or generic. So why not join me live @ 2pm, with your topical tracks. Featuring the well placed Topical Last Bite and Tricker's Tricky Topical Teaser. Only on the Big L - the only place to be!

Are those feeds available with TuneIn Cookie? Android Auto will only work with compatible apps. And BigL isn’t one of them! But TuneIn and myTuner ARE!!!

They should be, under the choose stream option. Not all players will play all streams though. Most should play MP3 and AAC+, but the OGG/Vorbis and OPUS streams may not be supported. I know Android supports most of these, but you need Android 6 or higher to play the Opus streams.

If your system does support Opus, even the low bitrate 32k stream should give perfectly good enough sound quality for mobile listening. For best quality sound/home listening, choose the 128k MP3 or 96k Opus.

Many thanks for your information. Will have a play around with the various streams on Saturday morning- in between washing the car and tuning in to Manx AM!!!!

Could be an interesting topic for this weeks Topical Tuesday. Vocally instrumental/instrumentally vocal is what we're calling it. Songs from artists normally associated with instrumentals and instrumentals from artists who usually record songs. Join me at 2pm, with your topical tracks for two hours of fun. Featuring Tricker's Tricky Topical Teaser and the Topical Last Bite. See you then!

Girls names is our theme for this weeks Topical Tuesday, so why not join me and all those lovely ladies, for two hours of topical fun, live from 2pm. Featuring Tricker's Tricky Topical Teaser and the Topical Last Bite.

Enjoyed listening to your show on the move today Cookie! I have discovered that its best to keep the smallest buffer (stream starts playing almost immediately)- and highest possible quality (doesn’t seem to gobble up your Gb’s!) That song you played about Jamaica sounded really great!! Didn’t J Vince Edwards use to be an actor? I seem to remember him from Ben Casey (a rival to Dr. Kildare in the 1950’s!!) Also- loved your comments about Big L not being an album station! I think that’s probably the biggest cristicism of 648 kHz - too many obscure album tracks and not enough HITS! God job Big L isn’t going down that route!

Many thanks for the feedback BigJohn. Yes, love that song "Sun of Jamaica" by the Goobay Dance Band. You're right, JVE was indeed an actor. He was in Hair aparrently. Lol my comment about not being an album station was intended to guide a listener who likes to request album tracks, which I often don't have.

Keep up the good work and dedication to Big L. We all much appreciate all the time and trouble you take for very little ‘reward’ in material terms.

Caroline Flashback doesn’t appear to do live programming in the afternoons. Looks like yours may be the only live 60;s music show Cookie. There must be plenty of potentials

Listeners unaware of it. Wonder how we can publicize it a bit ? If I said. Alexa- play Cookie in the Afternoon - would she know how to get you blasting out of the speakers Cookie?

I would say that Cookie’s show is the ONLY live 60’s-70’s 80’s type internet show on in the afternoons.
