Podcasts

In 2023 I started dabbling in podcasts as part of the MSing About project. My original sidekick was Katrina Christensen who is a carer, a pianist, a singer, a train driver and a lot of fun.

What was it about?

It was about 20 minutes and, what Katrina called it, a podcast about nothing… because we’d pick something to talk about and tangents could take us anywhere… we could start out talking about dating, love and marriage and end up talking about eggs, cauliflower, ducks, Siamese Twins, movies, schoolyards and bees. You can check out these previous podcasts in the Blogs section of the MSing About website.

In the current series, called Almost a Radio Show, my sidekick is my mate, Dave Prior.

Dave is a singer, songwriter and comedian. Almost a Radio Show is full of good music, trivia, fun factoids, random chat and spontaneous silliness.

A new half-hour episode drops every Sunday and you will find the most recent on the home page of the MSing About website. You can also access it through podcast platforms like Spotify and Apple Music.

And Stop Press! Our Almost a Radio Show podcasts are now on real radio!!!

Sound recording whiz, Brian Newington, has set up an online easy-listening radio station called, wait for it… Easy Listening Radio!

The website is Easy Listening Radio and it is 24/7 featuring… nostalgic music from the crooners of yesteryear… music from the movies… the best of the big band era… soft rock classics… the magic of Motown… singer-songwriter classics… and great instrumentals… PLUS Almost a Radio Show gets a run at midday on Saturdays and Sundays!

More Stop Press – in fact, hold the front page! Toowoomba radio station 102.7FM is also taking the show but in a one-hour format to be broadcast on Fridays at 2:00pm and then repeated on Mondays at 9:00pm. The station streams from its 102.7 website.

Gosh – who would have thought that two old radio blokes with a podcast hobby would end up on radio again!
