Just listened to yesterday's show on catch up. My conclusion is... not bad at all really. Fine for what it is (a crap local radio show).

I'll never listen to it because about 95%+ of it is music, adverts, news, traffic and travel. The phone calls are only a minute or less so, there's no time to get into anything other than messing about. I might listen to an episode every few weeks to monitor the inevitable car crash, but my thumb might not recover from this morning's relentless 15 second skip button presses.
Same. Only going to listen to one episode every few weeks or so. Unless something of any value happens to make it worth listening to on catch-up.

But, just noticed something. I could be totally wrong and if someone could check it out?

Looks like only the last 5 shows are available on catch-up. On a first in first out basis.

Can't understand why CackFM JackFM would do this? Why not just keep all previous shows online?

What are they storing shows on? A 2gb USB memory stick from Poundland?

The thing with super fans is they're hard to shake off.
Didn't Eyan ask his Supers not to call in for a while? That lasted a day. Only way Eyan is going to get rid of them (when he hits the Big Time LOLs!), is with a restraining order. Until such time, Eyan needs them to call in with their highly entertaining calls. The people of Oxfordshire need it. Well that's what Alkystair thinks.

It's a shame that the talking bits only seem to total around 30 minutes out of a three hour show once you've skipped all the news and music and adverts. I wonder why he wouldn't want to put that out as a podcast?
Because that would mean a bit of work for the producer? It's not like it's his job or anything.

Also it would put Matty Deevo out of a job 🤣

Iain has been having a hissy fit because someone complained there are too many ads on IL Rude Awakening, but would it not be more insulting to say something like - the ads are the best part of the show? I will never know, as I don't listen...

My understanding is they don’t even have PhoneBox.

The 2gb bit might be close to the truth!

Because the world revolves around you?
Alkystair does seem to think he adds so much when he calls. He does. He adds depression.

The universe revolves around him.

It's a famous Alistair soundboard clip that he asked Iain to delete once he became sober.
Didn't know about that sound clip. "Once he became sober delete it"? Didn't know he was sober because he never sounds it.

If that's Alkystair when he's sober I worry about what he's like when inebriated.

Must really bother Eyan that he has virtually no input or air time compared to LBC, 3CR and TR. Different formats admittedly with no music. But imagine how the adverts will drive Eyan up the wall, let alone the listener. They do my head right in. They make the music sound good!

Eyan would have potentially taken it personally as it's a reflection of how low rent CackFM JackFM is. But, fair play to Eyan for eventually lowering himself from his lofty delusions of grandeur and taking the gig.

The reality that nobody gave a monkey's banana that Eyan was in "I'm A Failed Celebrity Get Me a Job", eventually got through to him.

No disrespect whatsoever to the chap Trevor Marshall whom Eyan replaced. It's hardly like Eyan was taking over Chris Evans.

My understanding is they don’t even have PhoneBox.

The 2gb bit might be close to the truth!
Don't know what PhoneBox is! But it sounds like something only a professional radio station would have.

Here's the thing. It's literally 5 shows. So 2gb ÷ 5 shows = 400mb for a 3 hour show.

So it could well be a dusty old 2gb USB thumb drive they found in a drawer and thought, "I know!"

Just a thought. WOPHD is a hard drive expert. So he can advise JackFM how to buy a cheap second-hand high capacity hard drive?

Even better still. Why doesn't WOPHD donate one of his many hard drives? But, he'd best stick it in a nuclear reactor first to WIPE IT properly because he is WOPD after all...enough said on this I think .

Yeah, the WHY DO YOU HAAAATE MEEEE? clip was played all the time at one point, it was from around the time Alky phoned in a bomb threat to TalkRadio and went to court, when he'd call in all the time thinking he was Iain's friend (what's changed?). During the dying days of TLNA Alky phoned in and said it upset him to keep hearing it so Iain deleted it and never used it again.

His clumsy take on politics is cringeworthy.
He hasn't the first idea of what he's talking about and relies on that professional Socialist, Jobbie, to get his talking points.

To crowbar his ill infomed take on the world on a music station may be his undoing as he didn't get much of an audience both on Talk or Twitch doing just that.
And only a pitiful 500 or so Patreons.
This is a man who has a very sketchy grasp of current affairs and just banks on making all the right sounds.
He should stick to the fun stuff, which he excelled at, and leave the heavy stuff to the grown-ups.
Can't see him lasting with his "right on" opinions if he continues to piss off the average person who listens to Jack FM.
It's what stopped me from listening.

Anyway he'd best check the demographics as I'm sure Jack FM doesn't cater for a worthy North London audience.
Exactly right description of what Eyan is. Been saying same about Eyan for years. One of the most politically ill informed wannabe gob-on-a-stick going.

Eyan is careful to avoid talking about politics because he knows he hasn't got a clue or the brains to comment on political matters. You wouldn't ask Eyan on to a political panel show. You'd ask people like Ian Collins who can do both: fun stuff like 'creatures of the night' and the serious stuff.

All Eyan does is rant cheap slogans and shout "f the Tories" whenever he goes 'political'. How about some balanced political analysis?

I'd say Eyan doesn't have any grasp of current affairs, domestic politics, international politics, history and economics. Not even a basic grasp.

He doesn't talk about these subjects because he knows nothing because he spends all his time moaning about himself. Eyan doesn't have any interest in current affairs because he's so self-absorbed.

Look at the state of his sycophants and it becomes clear why they're so happy to hold Eyan up as their intellectual saviour. They're equally as vacuous as Eyan.

Literally the blind leading the blind.

Kaffbo is probably worse than Eyan when it comes to being vacuous due to her being even more careful to not expose her ignorance.

The new Rude Awankening Awakening show is perfect for Eyan. It's banal and vapid.

The question now is: "What is Eyan actually good for? What can Eyan do?".

I doubt Vivienne Clore advertise Eyan as a "political commenter, newspaper reviewer, social commentator, current affairs commentator and all-rounder fun banter expert".

The fun stuff is long gone. TLNA became fearful and painful to watch.

So all that is left now is eyan being a "gap filler jockey" in between songs, adverts and local news.

I'd say Eyan has ended up exactly in the right place at JackFM.

On Twitch he had the most perfect chance to show us his unrestricted talent, no radio management to control his show so he could do what he wants. TLNA ended in utter disaster.

I just wish bleeping Gatford wouldn't keep phoning up. Does he think people find him entertaining and he's doing the public a service? Even Iain sounds sick to death of him.
Yes. Gatfud rates himself as some kind of "side-kick" to Eyan providing a highly valuable service to radio.

What goes through Gatfud's mind when he picks up the phone to call his Eyan?

"I know! I'm a zany fun filled kinda guy! I bounce off Eyan so well, add so much so I better call in and do the world a favour! The listeners must love hearing the sound of my voice".

I'm just surprised that Iain didn't advocate for his colleague to be his Producer on Jack FM. They were supposed to be a pair, previously, an equally paid duo. Now he's got a radio gig, Kath is a TLNA memory.
I think Matty Stevo should be Eyan's producer! LOLs.

Side-Show Kaffbo had her chance and blew it. Plus she can't work in commercial radio again because of her principled stance on "radio being full of right wingers and she was having none of that on her watch". So she left radio.

Kaffbo was following the teachings of Maya Knew, "If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, leave radio". LOLs.

Why do you haaaaaate meeeee?!
Now that was a fantastic piece of audio manipulation.
I remember hearing Iain distorting, slowing down and layering Alistair's message into a truly bizzare soundmare.
Sounding Linda Blair's demonic voice in the Exorcist.
"My name is Legion for we are many"
Only Alistair's was as you quoted
"Why do you hate me?"
The other example of instant genius or just boredom on Iain's behalf was looping the same snippet for what must have been 30mins.
It was a comment by a caller and Iain responding with something like "C'mon let me tickle you. Tickle tickle"
For a full half hour or so!
You had to be there I suppose.
That is how I became aware of Iain's spontaneous genius.

I think Iain pretends to be a bit Frank Spencer when it comes to politics, so as not to offend potential bosses re having strong opinions on anything.

There's no pretence whatsoever.
The man just follows what he thinks will make him popular.
Iain is like Boris in that respect.
Unlike his hero ,the unwanted foundling, JOBBIE who is full on Corbyn.
A spoilt little Socialist making a small fortune whilst being a "man of the people" and coining it in bigtime thanks to the free economy.
Commie Capitalists eh.

Anyone still listening to the Clinton Baptiste podcast? Seems like Katherine is on her usual path... started out behind the scenes, then started talking a bit and is now taking over the show. Another good thing ruined.

Oh Jo, what do you do to keep cool at night? Oh Jo, I won't ask you what you wear in bed because you are a lady and I am a gentleman. Iain is all over Jo Summerbell the newsreader, like a rash!
Hi NotARobot and welcome. I don't listen to TRA. Has Eyan started on the newsreader lady now?

Does Eyan think she's there for his lecherous urges? Looks like concerns were valid.

I used to think Iain wasn't suited for daytime as much as night but it actually works to put the reins on him since he can't talk about sex, drugs or depression as readily early in the morning.
Let's hope Alistair doesn't call in at 7am and start talking about his alcoholism and depression. Best if he saves it for the 30 or so people who enjoy listening about it on TLNA. Like they're hearing it for the first time every time he goes on about it.

Saw a few TRA videos uploaded on Twitch of TRA show. Hope Eyan uploads more and in full. It's easier to watch them on Twitch and fast forward the music and news. Even better is that Twitch remove portions due to music rights violations so it's easier to see which parts to skip. If I can ever be bothered to watch that is.

Let's hope that Jo Summerbell's soldier boyfriend doesn't listen or else there will be tears...😱
Eyan is such a melt when it comes to acting the hard bloke! He'll be crying like a girl if Jo's boyfriend has a word. LOLs!

She seems like his type. I mean 2 out of the dic pic 4 were called Jo and have dark hair. Iain can't believe his luck!

Wait until James Brooks-Foster hears about this...
Do they look like Eyan's ex-wife? That might explain a lot.

James Brooks-Foster is the soldier boyfriend? This could be fun! Eyan can get himself in the papers as a victim.

Bloody Alistair, Bloody Gatford!!
Somebody take their phones off them!!
Talk about feeling entitled and deciding the good people of Oxfordshire must listen to their droning voices and dense talk.

I have no real strong opinion on Iain Lee. I have been aware of him for many years, from the 11 O’Clock show really. Seems alright.

Pardon my naïveté here but; he has fans? As in actual fans who think he is amazing?
