Tim is a man with a lightning fast tongue, razor sharp memory, obsessive love of indie music and woeful lack of motivation to do degree work. This was always coming... @timsenna @jackyparker93 Full show: https://www.mixcloud.com/tim-arstall/the-alternative-podcast-skit-takeover/
Emmett returns to the studio, fresh as a daisy from the latest in a series of grueling job interviews. Just to check he isn't all talk and no trousers, Alex decided to put him through his paces. WARNING: The following clip contains silly behaviour and gratuitous childishness.
The team from Unstructured Ramblings caught up with Sir Edward Davey. Sir Ed was the former MP for Kingston and Surbiton for 18 years and was Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change in the Coalition Government (as well as being one of the longest people to serve in this position). They asked him about everything from who the funniest MP was, the time he jumped in front of a train to save someone, the Coalition and his political idol.
Sam and Emmett receive a rather mysterious phone call from down under...

Nick interviewed upcoming indie-pop band Blossoms from Stockport ahead of their gig at the Zephyr Lounge in Leamington Spa in February. Give it a listen to hear what they say about appearing on the BBC Sound of 2016 list; why the Kevin & Perry and GTA Vice City soundtracks and ABBA influence them; as well as the reasoning for hit song Charlamagne being named after Charles the Great, King of the Franks who united much of Western Europe in the early Middle Ages. #Blossoms #interview #charlamagne #bbcsoundof2016

After committing heinous, unspeakable crimes in Kelseys, Leamington Spa, regular presenter Emmett Saigal sadly couldn't make the Shipping Forecast as he had been temporarily imprisoned. As is customary, he was permitted one phone call, which he valiantly decided would be to Alex, Tim and Tessa in the studio. Sadly, it was cut short before he could complete his story. They run quite a tight ship at Alcatraz, so I've heard.
