North East friends... conspiclous by its absence this year is a prophecy about the apocalypse. That means it's more likely. There's no proof of that, but it's scientific fact. Come and shelter with us on the final day...

i found some @Eddie_Brill stuff on a decaying VHS taped from the early days of channel 5, but the entire thing was cut into tiny bits of loads of different comedians' sets. The bits on the rules of the english language were fantastic - i'd love to hear/see the full bit

oooh, the BBC news sound editors are going to have fun tonight trying to pretend THAT didn't happen :D

anybody know if the narrowing of the shared use foot/cycle path is finished on the high level bridge? just with the tyne bridge about to be banjoed i'm planning routes and there's nowhere at all to find this stuff out. #newcastle #tyneside #noinfo

the more of this i read, the more i hear in John Peel's voice in my head- "Hitches and Hefts Reproof play the Hebden Bridge Trades club on march 23rd, more from them after Coinage of the Meeting by experimental prog outfit Docket Conflux"

Had a blast researching and recording this - loads of great #alternative music in #NewZealand #Aotearoa that doesn't get the coverage it deserves mixcloud.com/OTHradio/altern…

aloha folks a couple of hours downtime for the station tonight. the power went out and i'm awayfrom home. i'll restart broadcasting at 7am

we're trying to get to the bottom of what happened, but everything went out about 25-30 minutes later than scheduled last night - it's all due to roll around again this afternoon at 1300 so we'll keep you up to date. please excuse the teething troubles :)

we're almost 2 hours into new music monday on OTH radio - here are this weeks additions to the playlist othaltradio.net - we do it different

absolutely gutted to hear of Geordie Walker's passing #RIPGeordie

i keep forgetting how fantastic a song "first we take manhatten" by Leonard Cohen is
