Show business 16/02/2015: Pancake day eve

, , , , , 0

pancakesHello! How are you?

On the show this week:

  • Let’s start Pancake Day Eve! I think we should celebrate the day before pancake day each year. As this week’s show is the day before pancake day, there’s no better day to start this off! But I’d like your help – what rituals should be part of Pancake Day Eve? Get involved!
  • Forget 50 shades of grey, I bring you 50 shades of crayons. It’s the childish version of 50 shades!
  • Also on the Pancake Day/Ash Wednesday, I stage a protest about Easter eggs ALREADY being in supermarkets – it’s too early!

That’s Monday 2-3pm on Future Radio 107.8 FM!

Speak to you then,

Show business 09/02/2015: Impressions, bad fonts & school quirks

, , , , , , 0

chaulkboard_bkgrnd_506x575Hello there!

I was off ill last week so it will be good to be back. On The Afternoon Session…

  • I’ll be interviewing Marea Smithson who is an impressionist from our fine city. She’ll be mocking celebrities with “Strictly vs The X Factor”.
  • Think of one person you know who uses bad fonts. Comic Sans. Times New Roman. Whatever your font Achilles heal is really. Shall we do a charitable appeal on behalf of all bad fonts on the show? The charity needs a name, though – how about the “Disgusting Fonts Committee” or D.F.C. (even though that acronym sounds like a football club)?
  • Plus, as the UEA has set up a “nap room” for students to get 40 winks in, what quirks did your school, college or university have? A nap room’s pretty quirky, isn’t it? My primal school didn’t have a fire alarm! Instead one of the teaching assistants would ring a bell…

All that’s Monday 2-3pm on Future Radio 107.8 FM!

Show business 26/01/2015: Burns night baloney

220px-Robert_burnsHello!

Hope you’re fine and dandy!

In the words of Churchill, “I shall play to music for the offices, I shall spread joy to the self-employed, I shall play music and spread joy in the cars and in the streets, I shall never surrender”. When shall I do that? Monday 2-3pm! OK, I think I’ve over-hyped the show now. Whoops.

This week…

    • The story of the worst possible place my phone ever went off – at a wedding! Plus, what songs would inappropriate to be your ringtone if your phone happens to go off at wedding? Like this…

  • Burns night baloney (a word that should be used more often): The secret diary of haggis! And your requests for Scottish bands please!
  • And the next part of my ongoing serial Laurence vs Future Radio where I challenge another presenter. Last week I lost to Dave so how will I get on when I play against Dean Tucker from The Breakfast Show?

When: Monday 26th January 2-3pm
Where: Future Radio

How to listen:

  • On your radio, find 107.8 FM (Norwich city centre and surrounding areas only)
  • Online here

Show business 19/01/2015: Laurence vs Future Radio

iPhone App Development ChallengesHello!

How are you? I was off last week because of being ill so I’m looking forward to hopefully being back this Monday from 2pm on Future Radio.

This week:

  • Fancy a silly game? I’ve invented a game I’ll be inviting you to play! I’m nice like that. Change a word in a song title to Norwich. Led Zeppelin – Stairway to Norwich! The Rolling Stones – (I can’t get no) Norwich!
  • The battle starts on Laurence vs Future Radio. Every week (for the next few weeks) someone from another show on the station will take part in a challenge. It’ll always be something relevant to their show. So this week Dave, from Norwich Today/Norwich Weekly, will challenge me to a game where we have to answer each other’s questions with the answer to the question before. It’s all because Norwich Today is about interviews!

When: Monday 19th January 2-3pm

How to listen: 107.8 FM (Norwich City Centre) or listen online anywhere

The Afternoon Session – so-called because it’s in the afternoon!

Show business 01/12/2014: Paper cut compensation for you

, , , , , 0

04Hello!

There was no show last week because I lost my voice so let’s hope for better luck this Monday!

On the show…

  • What would it be like if newly engaged Andy Murray did a post-match style press conference about getting engaged?
  • Paper cut compensation for you
  • And my ideas for dedicated social networking sites aimed at the silver surfer

It will be total madness. Monday 1st December (it can’t be December, surely?) 2-3pm on Future Radio. Listen on 107.8 FM in Norwich, or online, for music and entertainment…

Toodle pip,

Laurence Scott x
