Lurking Cupboard Suprises!

About this show

Nixxi was out in town, so Kev handled the show on his own on Great North Run weekend. He sent good-luck messages to James, David, Steve and Keith after months of training, and to Craig, who had apparently remembered he was running it without doing any training at all. Nikita and Rob also got a shoutout for their charity run.

The internet supplied the first big subject as Kev discovered that words including “amazeballs”, “cyberbully”, “frape”, “lollage” and “lulz” had made it into the Collins Dictionary. He immediately demonstrated how terrible they would sound in a CV before moving into new music, including JLS, Nas with Amy Winehouse and more of the records Kev and Nixxi were championing at the time.

A low-battery warning sent Kev sprinting across the studio to rescue his laptop before it died. That led neatly into a bag of old CDs and cassettes he had found while clearing the cupboard under the stairs, providing material for Return of the Track and a run of musical memories. Listener Graham tuned in live after previously following the podcast, while Kyle and Simon were among those joining the solo show before Kev returned to the Great North Run shoutouts near the end.
