Over the summer I covered the late show on @absoluteradio, on my first show some guy got abusive requesting Milli Vanilli.
So for the entirety of my summer run I made the same joke every night....because I’m petty and think humour is best when it’s passive aggressive.
@benburrell
Ben,
Thank you 😊 For Putting Together Such A Great Documentary x
Absolutely Loved Hearing ‘1996’
Great Memories Came Flooding Back To A Fantastic Year xxx 😘
It's time for @benburrell's documentary about 1996 on @absoluteradio!
If they've left out Paul Schole's 🐓 popping out in the 1996 FA Cup Final I'll be writing a very strong letter.
Also Ben has a Time Machine or something.
Thrilled that my audio drama Shorts has been nominated for best drama at the ARIAS. We're up against some proper ALPHAS, so taking the time to celebrate while we can!
Launched a new feature for a limited run to lunchtimes: it’s Ask Ben Burrell Anything
He’s got 10 seconds and he HAS to give an answer, feel free to DM me a question so he doesn’t see 🫣
My new audio drama SHORTS has just finished its first season. We’d love you to give it a listen. Here’s some episodes you might like…
‘Nepo Baby’ - an obnoxious woman claiming to be Jesus is arrested in Dundee.
‘Opinion Radio’
A documentary crew spend 24hrs inside a right-wing radio station… but when a presenter is threatened with murder live on air, we start to see what is really happening.
Just shared a Maccy D breakfast with @benburrell and now playing non-stop Britpop Summer anthems on @absoluteradio this morning. Living the bank holiday dream - come and join me!
The Ultimate Britpop Anthem, as voted for by you, is Common People by @welovepulp!
ALT Graphic with number 1 and Absolute Radio Ultimate Britpop Anthem overlays. Image is the single cover for Common People, with a still of Jarvis Cocker from the music video overlayed on it.
This @oasis tour is amazing to see.
It’s also amazing to see all these British music journalists/britpop snobs contorting themselves into frustrated knots of resentment because they can’t just see it’s a massive cultural thing that doesn’t give a fuck what they say about it.
