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.

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!

Obsessed with this interviewee on Sky News who is clearly on a toilet.

‘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.

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.
