Podcast appearances and mentions of Simon Bates

Gareth and Ted chat about the UK Government compelling Apple to give access to their encryption, Meta torrenting ebooks, Coolermaster unleashing the Masterhub, Windows 98, AOL Desktop, film photography and Ted's take on the Marshall Monitor III.

After listening with interest to your tales of tinkering with Linux, and as Windows was getting on my tits, I decided to give Linux a try. I used a piece of software on a USB called Ventoy. It allows you to put as many ISO files on a USB as you want without committing to any one operating system. I tried about 5 live Distros over the course of a week. It really is a tinkering dream. Distro-hopping is so addictive. It's like setting up a new phone then changing it again! I couldn't believe how advanced Linux has become. In the end I opted for Bazzite which is based on Fedora but geared towards gamers as I have a big Steam library. Every game just works as soon as downloaded. As Gareth said, there seems to be a decent software store with everything you need - and it all just works. Thanks guys for giving me a little nudge. Looking forward to your Linux special.

Looks Unfamiliar is a podcast in which writer and occasional broadcaster Tim Worthington talks to a guest about some of the things that they remember that nobody else ever seems to.Joining Tim this time is actor Danny Kodicek, who's listening well to Grandpa Fox's stories of Fox Tales, Pullover, Simon Bates doing a live action version of Our Tune as part of Good Morning With Anne And Nick, Radio 5 youth shows WICR and Brassic and defunct puzzle website Time Hunt. Along the way - after we've finished taking a look behind the scenes at The Saturday Show - we'll be revisiting Jamiroquai's duet with some puppet caterpillars, hunting for the Bootleg Pullover Millions and recalling the epochal cultural impact of 'Terry' from Grange Hill.You can find more editions of Looks Unfamiliar at http://timworthington.org/.If you enjoy Looks Unfamiliar, why not buy us a coffee here?

“What we're gonna do right here is go back, way back!”If you were really down with the cool kids in 1984, you would have most definitely have been passing around the school prized C90 cassettes featuring much copied Streetsounds compilations. And somewhere in there was Kurtis Blow's AJ Scratch track with those immortal sampled words from the Jimmy Castor Bunch in 1972. Straight out onto The BMXs and down to throw some funky worm shapes on that strip of lino!Or, in this writer's case, 1984 was mainly spent in a bedroom hovering over the play and pause button to catch a clean edit (without Simon Bates) of Two Tribes, still at number one after 5 weeks! But which mix would we get this week? Now, THIS was anticipation, pop kids!1984. A pop year of decadence, contradictions, conflict, controversy and coming of age. A year that authors (and the BBC) told us would feature impending, inevitable Armageddon. Annihilation, it turned out, came in the shape of a plethora of 12” mixes, plastic smiles, snoods, 808 drum machines, hairspray, neon and (red) balloons. How was it for you?In the third decade of the 21st century, a time surely we wouldn't (a) remember 1984 or (b) still be around to remember 1984, the team at NOW Music HQ presented the second in a (now) glorious series of curated Yearbooks. And what an album (and accompanying extra volume!) we have to rediscover. The sun is most definitely shining brighter than Doris Day!So for this special episode we're joined by two poptastic friends of the show to take a deep dive into 1984. Journalist, DJ and author Ian Wade and journalist, author and broadcaster Jude Rogers.Jude can be found contributing musings and writing about music, culture and much more in The Guardian, Observer and The Quietus amongst many others. Her first (best selling!) book, The Sound of Being Human: How Music Shapes Our Lives is available through White Rabbit books.Ian has written for Classic Pop, Record Collector, The Quietus, Official Charts, Sunday Times Culture as well as doing time at such titles as Smash Hits and The Face many years ago. He has worked as a PR on BBC's Later… with Jools Holland and occasionally DJs at Spiritland and Duckie. And his debut book 1984: The Year Pop went Queer is published by NineEight Books in July 2024.And whilst we don't take a forensic look at every one of the 80 tracks on the 1984 Yearbook (and the further 60 on the extra volume) we instead provide you with an opportunity to explore the sights, sounds, culture, music, genres, tribes and (school!) fashion that makes this year so thoroughly iconic for so many reasons.Join us then, as we turn up the neon and dance through mutually agreed destruction in celebration of 1984!

It's the summer of 1992!The UK had accidentally voted in the Conservative government again but to make amends wins lots of medals at the Freddie and Monserrat Olympic Festival Sporting thingy in Barcelona, so everyone forgets for a while.Alan Shearer becomes the most expensive soccer star in the whole of history and the English FA celebrate their winning bid for Euro96 - spoiler, it still doesn't come home.And, AND, everyone was glued to the BBC's newest and sauciest soap opera Eldorado - what we all now recognise as the greatest TV turning point of the century. Must we throw this telly filth at our kids, said absolutely no-one.The new pop decade was coming of age as the third year of, what some called ‘the nineties' was providing yet another glittering array of….(checks notes)….erm, we're not really sure.But wait, this is not a problem! NOW, That's What I Call Music 22 was on hand and available in all formats to bring you 34 (yes, 34!) toppermost chartiest hits that would make sense of everything we needed to know!Coming at you like an overexcited ministerial briefing from Maastricht, every conceivable genre of music reminded you that there was indeed no genre whatsoever in 1992. Erasure dug up the Blue Peter-esque garden and found ABBA in a biscuit box, Utah Saints dug behind the sofa and found Kate Bush raving in a sweater, Electronic continued to be the best supergroup since forever and, ha, ‘disappointed' no-one (too cheesy, take this out in final draft) and whilst the Orb played chess on TOTP (checkmate, Alex!) a huge shoulderpad of serious adult rock from the likes of Cocker, Stigers and Marx was selling bucket loads of expensive CDs and trying their hardest to overshadow the pop kids (they'll never get away with it!).Join podcaster, writer and promoter Catrin Lowe as we head back to this crazy summer of 1992 to revisit the hits, headlines and otherwise that make up the gloriously non genre-specific volume 22 of the world famous NOW series!Along the way discover which band Catrin wrote a poem about on Teletext, how Turbo B infiltrated a fireworks display in Cheshire, which NOW22 act pretended to be farm animals on a recent TV talent show and why gravy is so important when considering your power ballad.To quote Simon Bates - 1992: Sexual Crusader or just a Big Girl's Blouse?

The chatbot ChatGPT, developed by American company OpenAI, has taken the world by storm in the past few months. This new research, however, has not been welcomed in education as expected. Faced with the threat of ChatGPT, the education community in many countries began to take measures.美国OpenAI公司研发的聊天机器人ChatGPT，在过去的几个月席卷全球。然而，这项新研究并没有在教育领域受到预想中的欢迎。面对来势汹汹的ChatGPT，多国教育界开始采取措施。New York City's Department of Education announced a ban on the wildly popular chatbot ChatGPT — which some have warned could inspire more student cheating — from its schools' devices and networks.在美国，纽约市教育部1月初宣布禁止学生在其学校的设备和网络上使用ChatGPT，以预防学生作弊的行为。The education department blocked access to the program, citing “negative impacts on student learning, and concerns regarding the safety and accuracy of content,” a spokesperson said. The move from the nation's largest school system could have ripple effects as districts and schools across the country grapple with how to respond to the arrival of the dynamic new technology.一位发言人表示，教育部以 “对学生学习的负面影响，以及对内容安全性和准确性的担忧” 为由，禁止了该技术的使用。而纽约的 “禁令”,可能会在美国其他州产生连锁反应。In addition, Sciences Po in Europe, a number of Canadian universities, and several Australian states are developing policies on student use of ChatGPT.除此之外，欧洲的巴黎政治学院（Sciences Po）多所加拿大大学，以及澳大利亚的多个州都正在制定有关学生使用ChatGPT的政策。Acting vice-provost and associate vice-president at UBC Vancouver, Simon Bates, said that all AI tools come with both potential benefits and real challenges, adding that the university is in the process of developing a newsletter and FAQ as part of its educative approach to academic integrity.卑诗大学温哥华分校代理副教务长兼副校长西蒙·贝茨（Simon Bates）在一份声明中说：“人工智能工具既有潜在的好处，也有真正的挑战；它有可能帮助学习，但也可能会让学生找AI代做作业。”。该大学正在拟一份简报和常见问题解答，为学生提供学术诚信方面的教育指导。In order to find out what the public thinks about using ChatGPT in schools, online course provider Study.com surveyed more than 100 educators and more than 1,000 students over the age of 18.为了解大众对在学校使用ChatGPT的看法，在线课程提供商Study.com调查了100多名教育工作者和1000多名18岁以上的学生。The results showed that 72% of college professors who are aware of ChatGPT, are concerned about its impact on cheating. Over a third (34%) of all educators believe that ChatGPT should be banned in schools and universities. 66% support students having access to it.调查结果显示：72%了解ChatGPT的大学教授担心它会引发作弊行为。超过三分之一（34%）的教育工作者认为学校和大学应该禁止ChatGPT。而66%的人支持学生使用ChatGPT。Surprisingly, 72% of college students believe that ChatGPT should be banned from their college's network.出乎意料的是，在是否禁用ChatGPT这一问题上，学生们的观点却相对一致：72%的大学生认为应该在学校网络中禁止ChatGPT。Inspire英 [ɪnˈspaɪə(r)] 美 [ɪnˈspaɪər]v. 鼓励ripple英 [ˈrɪp(ə)l] 美 [ˈrɪp(ə)l]n. 涟漪grapple with英 [ˈɡræpl] 美 [ˈɡræpl]v.应对困境

Shaun Tilley celebrates 70 years of the UK's official singles chart and remembers the days when the BBC's countdown of best selling hits was the listening event of the week! From the Tuesday lunchtime reveal to the Sunday evening recap, this is The Story Of The Radio 1 Chart Show. The programme features archive and exclusive interviews with Alan Freeman, Dave Lee Travis, Tom Browne, Johnnie Walker, Paul Burnett, Simon Bates, Andy Peebles, Tony Blackburn, Tommy Vance, Gary Davies, Richard Skinner and Bruno Brookes!!

The latest episode of the podcast which asks; are the Wurzels going to float in an eternal hellscape of bodily waste and toenails for singing about turning bulls gay?This episode would have been perfect for the other month while Shakin' Jubilee was occurring – but no matter, Pop-Crazed Youngsters, because we're going right back to the apogee of the Silby Joobs, which no-one ever said in 1977 because people weren't as rubbish as they are today. Flags! Bunting! Street parties! Massive patriotic Yorkshire puddings! Blatant chart-rigging! Your hosts are a) giving thousand-yard stares over some sausage rolls and praying that their father isn't going to run off with a Characterful Dad in a dress and some balloons up their shirt, b) communing with nature with a Jubilee coin in their grubby paw and c) watching some Caledonian ultra-violence outside a pub and pretending to be asleep under a Union Jack listening to their Dad banging on about Elvis again, but they all unite on Thursday evening to witness a Tony Blackburn – who has just invented Fathers 4 Justice – introduce a decidedly mixed bag of Pop treats. Musicwise, it's a veritable trifle of Pop, layered with West Midlands Safari Park Hi-Life, Ormskirk Americana, Southampton Funk, and a thick, satisfying custard of Black American Pop. Frankie Miller pulls a mic stand about. The Pips warm up for a night at the rollerdisco. The Stranglers piss about and stomp on someone's fingers. Demis Roussos lies to us about an island. Neil Innes drags TOTP into 1982. Legs & Co have to make something up on the spot. Bob Marley celebrates Jubilee week by telling us that Britain is rammel and we should clear out as soon as possible. The Wurzels bring us another unflinching examination of rural life. And we get ‘treated' to Little Rabbit Arse. But there's an elephant in bondage trousers in the room, isn't there?Neil Kulkarni and Taylor Parkes join Al Needham for a gargantuan street party of critical analysis, with tangents ahoy – including a trawl through the Nationwide Jubilee Fair, 35 hours of Triangle, Demis Roussos' £30,000 bed, Retirement Pop, the dark link between the Wurzels and the Radio 1 Roadshow, and cycling tips from Simon Bates' massive floating head.

Taylor Parkes and Neil Kulkarni join Al Needham for a massive street party to commemorate the Silver Jubilee episode of Top Of The Pops – but before that, it's a coat-down for the Monarchy, a comprehensive breakdown of the Nationwide Jubilee Fair, a flick through that week's Melody Maker, and a look at how the Department of Transport thought that a picture of Simon Bates massive unbespectacled floating head would teach the kids not to get killed on their Grifters in the mid-Eighties.

The latest episode of the podcast which asks; does playing Legend by Bob Marley constitute a hate crime?Finally, Chart Music gets off its fat arse, gets on its bike and starts looking for a job, and it's a particularly fraught one: rummaging through an episode from the arse-end of the Yellow Hurll era in an attempt to find anything nourishing and skill. It's the other side of Easter '84, and your panel are a) not bothering to revise for CSEs which are useless in Thatcher's Britain, b) failing to understand the Greek alphabet and wondering why anyone in Coventry would need to learn it, and c) playing gigs in a Barry shopping centre and trying to make acoustic guitars sound like the Jesus and Mary Chain. The good news is that Top Of The Pops is still a beacon of Pop Nowness. The bad news: over a year ahead of schedule, the Dinosaurs of Pop have come lumbering back and Simon Bates – frighteningly – doesn't look out of place in the studio for the first time ever. This, Pop-Crazed Youngsters, is your Dad's Top Of The Pops – a half-hour Radio 2 of the soul. Musicwise, oh dear; there's only one teenager on stage in the entire episode. Morrissey shows how right-on and inclusive he is by letting Sandie Shaw borrow his band for a while. A cursed Mayan mask with the mouth of Phil Collins soundtracks some horrific morning dog-breathed snogging. Belle and the Devotions prepare to be booed at in Luxembourg. Island Records de-Rastacise Bob Marley by 110% and recreate the opening credits of Pigeon Street. Duran Duran make their long-awaited return to the UK and demonstrate that reports of their demise are premature. Willie Nelson and Julio Iglesias practically come on to each other. Our Bands are represented by Echo and the Bunnymen. The Flying Pickets have one last warm against the brazier of the charts before the Massive Clay Head pulls us into its orbit. Neil Kulkarni and Simon Price join Al Needham for a long, hard stare at 1984, whirling off into such tangents as having Xmas ruined by Ed Sheeran, the majesty of studded gauntlets, recreating images of Bob Marley with football mascots, getting punched in the stomach by Eurovision winners, Effing and Jeffing in an Osmonds' house, now not to commence that vital gig in a Chilean prison, petals in beer at Cardiff Uni, and the proud parents of Alien Sex Fiend. GO FOR IT, Pop-Crazed Youngsters – and enjoy all that lovely swearing… Video Playlist | Subscribe | Facebook | Twitter | The Chart Music Wiki | PatreonSubscribe to Our Neil's Substack See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Neil Kulkarni, Simon Price and Al Needham commence their plunge into this episode of Top Of The Pops, stopping to pay respects to Our Janice and giving Simon Bates's new jacket a thorough examination. There's a rare opportunity to give a slight bit of credit to Morrissey for not being a complete bell-end four decades ago, before blanching at the sight of a Mayan mask with Phil Collins' mouth… Video Playlist | Subscribe | Facebook | Twitter | The Chart Music Wiki | Patreon See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

For successful rational indexing, you can't just make a guess and refine. Each unit cell is defined by six parameters, meaning there could be billions of potential solutions. Your probability of being correct is abysmal. Your best approach is to use advanced indexing tools. Machine learning can transform rational indexing from an intellectual challenge into the click of a button. In this episode, Simon Bates , VP of Science and Technology at Rigaku, speaks with us about the problem that rational indexing solves, its uses in pharma since the 1940s, and near-future breakthroughs that will make it more efficient. We discuss: - Using diffraction data to identify crystal unit cells - How rational indexing reduces the search space - Why pharma should focus on identifying crystal unit cells - The evolution of advanced indexing tools For more insights into the pharmaceutical industry, subscribe to the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or w herever podcasts are found.

Pairwise distribution function (PDF) can be a very useful tool for pharmaceutical professionals, especially when characterizing active pharmaceutical ingredients. Using PDF approaches you can confirm — and even solve — the molecular structure itself of new materials that we haven't been able to properly analyze up until now. In this episode, Simon Bates, VP of Science and Technology at Rigaku, shares why PDF and total diffraction combined together are so powerful in confirming molecular structures and why they are opening the door to new materials in pharmaceutics. We discuss: - The uses for PDF - The challenges of total diffraction and PDF - Keeping track of advances in PDF approaches Check out these resources we mentioned during the podcast: - The Collected Papers of Peter J.W. Debye - Underneath the Bragg Peaks: Structural Analysis of Complex Materials by Takeshi Egami - International Tables for Crystallography: Volume H, Powder Diffraction - Pharmalytical Summit 2021 For more insights into the pharmaceutical industry, subscribe to the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever podcasts are found.

The latest episode of the podcast which asks; is the tie clip the least Rock accessory?Remember the last Xmas episode? When 1983 revealed itself to be not as catshit as we thought it was? Well, in this episode your hosts – who at the time this episode went out were staring out of the window at the glorious panorama of Barry, writing plays about Jesus getting The Chair and electing to have a Tefal Man haircut, respectively - have a tentative sniff of a regular episode from that year, and what unfolded knocked us bandy. No word of a lie, Pop-Crazed Youngsters; this is possibly, pound-for-pound, the best episode of The Pops we've encountered so far. If you've come here for the coat-downs, you're going to be massively disappointed. Musicwise, Phwoorrrr. Simon Bates and Peter Powell are joined by the actual Kids From Fame, who have taken time out from smashing up dressing rooms and screaming at each other to stand there in the TOTP studio for some severe cross-platform brand synergisation. Dexys make their first appearance on Chart Music. Culture Club hijack a plane. Some Zoo Wankers dressed as the Bisto Kids get in the way of JoBoxers. Dee Snyder electrifies tomorrow morning's playground and upsets your Dad. Tracie, the Everygirl of 1983, puts on her white shoes. Lots of Scottish people wear Millets shirts. And Nick Heyward remembers to mime.Simon Price and Neil Kulkarni join Al Needham around the arse of 1983 and proceed to give it a severe tonguing, breaking off to discuss such matters as record shops adopting vagrants, more details about Simon chancing across Ian Asbury getting his Wolfchild out in a Birmingham car park, the Tracey Invasion of the UK, breaking up inter-school gang wars through the power of Darnce, and an outstanding lie about sharks. And swearing!Video Playlist | Subscribe | Facebook | Twitter | The Chart Music Wiki | Patreon See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The latest episode of the podcast which asks; The Monkees as the cast of Monkey - who's going to be Pigsy?Jabbed up and preparing to throw itself back into the world (to the extent that they might go to that gig in Cheryl Baker's back garden, depending on what the toilet facilities are like), Team ATVland reunite for a massive trawl through an episode of The Pops from the long, mediocre, pointy-headstocked, porn-frizzed, success-coated Summer of '86. The World Cup hangover is still in full effect - so much so that the menfolk of Top Of The Pops appear to be too busy frothing at the mouth over Diego Maradona to attend and have left Janice ‘All Night’ Long to mind the shop.And what an episode it is! Sure, like every episode in this era, it’s strewn with cat shit – but what interesting, marbled, and bizarrely-shaped cat shit it is. The Housemartins demonstrate that they’re not actually made of Plasticine. Gary Numan plays a gig at Stringfellows with Serving Suggestion. Saucy Soaraway Sam has a go at being a Vixtress with a former member of The Clash. Claire Usher delivers the last of the Kiddiepop bangers. Bucks Fizz invent World Music. A genuine actual brilliant single pitches up, before Wham! go Splat! with a remake of Parisienne Walkways set in Megas Wine Bar, Birmingham. And a presenter made out of fibreglass who isn’t Simon Bates pitches up.Neil Kulkarni and Taylor Parkes join Al Needham for an intensive scowl across the landscape of the Fun Pub of 1986, veering off on such tangents as Mork’s body odour, the unbelievable grimness of British girls’ comics, being recognised in Scandinavia, the decline of Cheesy Wotsits, why Tommy Steele cried at his own party, and an intensive tutorial on the correct way to Tie Off. An obscene amount of swearing on this one, and too much appalling singing from Al: soz.Video Playlist | Subscribe | Facebook | Twitter | The Chart Music Wiki | Patreon See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Nick Baker’s collection of programmes and interviews reflects on how the impact of technology has changed, from the dawn of language to the age of virtual reality. In this episode, Software, Nick revisits two of the past music software formats that used to dominate. In The Curse of the Cassette [from 1997], he recalls the downside of a much reviled format. Then, in the AB of CD [from 1988] Simon Bates looks at what the then revolutionary medium would bring to pop music. Nick also meets Simon Rooks from the BBC archives. Presenter: Nick Baker. Produced by Stephen Garner. Made for BBC Radio 4 Extra and first broadcast in 2019.

Did somebody order a fresh Chris Moyles Show on Radio X Podcast? Delivered straight to your podcast feed with a side order great chat. It was another fun week on the show and we had a triple threat of guests to get stuck into too. Comedian Jon Richardson was the first to join us to talk about his latest podcast venture into the world of ‘futurism'. Next up was our favorite impressionist Jon Culshaw who's starring in a new virtual theatrical production. We even managed to squeeze a few classic Culshaw caricatures out of him including a new take on US President Joe Biden. And finally, after weeks of saying how much he wants to go for a pint with him we finally managed to get George Clarke (from George Clarke's Amazing Spaces) on the show! Plus Chris' Simon Bates character popped up again and someone sent us in a bunch of pies. All on this week's podcast! And if that wasn't enough, here's more… Jake Bugg on Ukulele Sing Alone Live - Nessun Dorma Pippa's Sponsorship Offer Enjoy! The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X Weekdays 6:30-10am

The latest episode of the podcast which asks: why do we always leave the end-of-year episodes to the actual end of the year?Warning: if you listen to this episode, your ears will be breaking the Rule Of Six, and you ought to be ashamed of yourself, because Al has decided to throw a New Years party with all manner of special guests who will be dropping in, sitting by the fire, contemplating the meaning of the season, and – most importantly –picking at a Christmas Day episode of Top Of The Pops like a child picks at the scab on its knee.And what an episode it is! We’re at the tail-end of 1983, a year Chart Music has deemed the beginning of the decline of New Pop, but on further examination turns out to be much better than we’d realised. The accounts department of Radio One – Gripper Peebles, Twankey Smith, Pigwanker General and ‘All Night’ Long – are in full effect, the Zoo Wankers are kept on a leash, and we are assailed by wave after wave after wave after wave of the top rank of ’83.Musicwise, thwap! It’s bangers and monsters all the way. Freeeze drop the summer hit of the year. Michael Jackson reveals a hitherto-undiscovered love of Billy Britain and SWANT. We discover that just when you think you’ve got the measure of Shakin’ Stevens, he reveals new and unchartered depths as he jumps upon and seizes the white heat of Technology. Men At Work batter us with Australiana. Bonnie Tyler runs into a mirror. Miss Lennox glares at the classroom. Some American woman runs about a lot. Adam Ant begins to fade away. The Boogie-Woogie Bugle Boys of Quality Street look upward. Bucks Fizz give Larry The Lamb a go at lead vocals. The Lionel King puts on his best Jafakan accent. Carol Kenyon makes your dad drop his Satsuma. Bowie launches a nuclear attack on Sydney. Billy Joel looks at your big end and shakes his head. Death joins in on a Yazoo cover. And Jahwaddywaddy pinch out a loaf of Breggae.The entire Chart Music team – Sarah Bee, Neil Kulkarni, Al Needham, Taylor Parkes, Simon Price and David Stubbs - link up for our longest episode ever, veering off to discuss ghosts appearing on sex tapes, a righteous loathing of the Big Light, satanic kangaroos, the contents of UB40’s fridge, Simon Bates partying down with The Green Goddess and Stu Francis, and – finally - the comprehensive review of Comrade Shaky’s Sinclair Spectrum game that the podcast world has been crying out for.

The latest episode of the podcast which asks: if The Smiths were still making singles today, would they have a still from Sex Lives Of The Potato Men on the cover?The latest episode – another five hour-plus plunge into the very depths of your favourite Pop TV show – lands us on the very perineum ‘twixt Band Aid and Live Aid, in a shameful era when even the Weetabix are pretending to be American street youths, and on the very cusp of the achingly slow decline of The Pops. The majority of the Zoo Wankers have been culled, the flags and balloons are being reined in, and even though it’s Valentine’s Day, the roiling sexual chemistry between Simon Bates and Janice Long has been dialled right down. Thank God.Musicwise, oof: Top Of The Pops throw the kitchen sink of Pop at us, with no less than 21 acts getting a shine, resulting in 1985 looking better than it has any right to be. This Year’s Most Lovable Bisexual puts a wrecking ball plastered with mirrors through the wall of the charts while he threatens legal action against his label for being mingebags. The Commodores don a black vinyl poppy for their fallen comrades. Bill Sharpe and Gary Numan look at a fax machine. The entire show is derailed when Jonathan King forces us to look at some chlorinated American stodge, but put firmly back on track when Jaz Coleman stares at us. Morrissey machine-guns the audience. Kool and the Gang channel the spirit of Girlyman. And there’s a load of mid-Eighties rammel.Taylor Parkes and Neil Kulkarni wrap their Dads’ ties around their heads and join fellow Street Punk Al Needham for a rampage through the streets of 1985, veering off on such tangents as rubbish Americans not understanding Ribena, getting started on for laughing at the death of Apollo Creed, why standing on a boardroom table for a publicity shot isn’t a good idea, why sneering at girls singing a love song directly at their music teacher is a worse idea, and a revisit to the Perils of Priapic Price.

Ten general knowledge pub quiz questions broadcast to you daily. Today we have questions on - amongst others - Simon Bates, Barbary lions and the creator of Seinfeld.

Dave Jarman hosts the latest episode of the podcast and is joined by guests Lauren Ellse from Basecamp and Simon Bates and Michael Dicker from Acctuation Lab (https://actuationlab.com/), who discuss their experiences of start-ups and spin-offs working within a University research area.

The latest episode of the podcast which asks: why didn’t they let Simon Bates do Top Of The Pops USA?We're out of the Critics' Choice series, Pop-Crazed Youngsters, so it's time to grasp the fly-encrusted and whiffy end of the Eighties Stick. It's a Thursday evening one week before Xmas in 1987, and your panel are a) in a Soho pub, chucking their musical-journalistic weight about, b) trapped in a bingo hall in Nottingham being handled like a piece of meat by randy octogenarians, and c) sprawled out on a rug in Yorkshire, with a garter snake wrapped around their glasses, waiting to be dazzled by the life-affirming beauty of Pop. Two of these people made the right choice that night.Musicwise, this is a heavily adulterated, gelled-up, suity, unwiped arse of an episode, with only a couple of standouts. Mike Read and Gary Davies pretend to be mates. Wet Wet Wet attempt to do True and fail. Mel Smith's attempt to encourage kids to hide in fridges is denied by the BBC. Mick Hucknall - leader of the Kennyist band in Pop - reminds us he can sing a bit. Nat King Cole cock-blocks Rick Astley. We finally get to see a bit of Top Of The Pops USA. And Kirsty and Shane and Neil and Chris ride in to save the day. None of these people are The Young Gods.David Stubbs and Sarah Bee join Al Needham for a rummage through the Quality Street tin of Xmas 1987, and - as always - the detours and tangents are manifold, including what it was like to work at Melody Maker in the Laties, how to buy a shark in Yorkshire, the lack of a decent wine cellar at Dingwalls, the pointlessness of CD Walkmans, the annual F-word debate, how Marti Pellow ruined Stars In Their Eyes, and an open apology to the Pogues for a 33 year-old LP review.This is the bumper pack of all four parts which came out last week. It's not a repeat, it's been tweaked slightly, just like when they put TOTP on BBC4. Yeah, yeah, take it to OFCOM. Video Playlist | Subscribe | Facebook | TwitterSubscribe to us on iTunes here.

Sexual swear words and adult situations ahoy this week as Ben and very under the weather Phil play a game of Birthday Top Trumps pitting unlikely duos born on the same day against each other, including a horror writer vs. a puppeteer, Johnny Marr's neck strength, Corbyn's collection of video nasties and Simon Bates in a battle you'll be delighted never to know the answer to. And later Beatlemania is fully covered with items on unusual manias and also a Beatle. Plus Thatcher's heroin crimes, what the R stands for in Kelly, moist Alans, Orville The Duck's audition for It Chapter Three, nose wars, Pliers gets rude, Larry the Cable Guy's jam making abilities are brought into question, standard polygamy and what Ringo Starr's childhood nickname almost certainly should've been.

My guest this week is Martin Bloomfield (aka ‘Dodgy Shoes’) who is studying towards a PhD in Philosophy at the University of York and who, like me, studied at Lampeter during the 1990s. Martin explains why Lampeter was a ‘collection of caricatures’, and we also find out about the range of schools he attended when he was young. Martin remembers the birth of his younger brother, and Martin reflects on how York (and himself) have changed over the years. We learn about Martin’s current employment, and Martin reveals what the most valuable lesson was that he learned in Lampeter and how it informed the rest of his life. We learn that as a student he would see gigs at Gassy Jacks in Cardiff, including Bad Manners, and we reflect on the more ‘C’ list musicians who would tend to come to Lampeter. We also learn about the different branches of the karate club as well as the fencing society that Martin used to be involved with, and why he thinks of Lampeter as a person. We hear about the infamous ‘foot joke’, and how going to university helped Martin to discover who he was. Martin tells us how he did (and did not) stand for Parliament for the ‘Not on the Ballot Paper’ party, and we reflect on how politics has changed over the decades, and why he is a classic floating voter, as well as why he has found the last few elections to be extraordinarily depressing. We talk about the role of the radio in growing up, and how the charts don’t matter so much anymore and the days when ‘Top of the Pops’ was the gold standard. Martin remembers listening to Mark & Lard at the height of Brit Pop, the time when Radio 1 didn’t play Status Quo, as well as Simon Bates and ‘Our Tune’ and how young people were no longer connecting with Radio 1. Towards the end of the interview Martin explains why he chooses the sweet over the bitter, how he was tested quite late for dyslexia, why his school days weren’t as good as his university days, and how happiness is not just about smiling. Martin also explains why his younger self wouldn’t recognize what he is doing now and what advice he would give his 15 year old self. Finally, we discover why Martin has a synchronic view of time. Please note: Opinions expressed are solely those of Chris Deacy and Martin Bloomfield and do not necessarily represent the views or opinions of the University of Kent.

The latest episode of the podcast which asks: is Simon Bates negging or cock-blocking? Into the penultimate stretch of the Critics' Choice series, Pop-Crazed Youngsters, and Our Sarah has taken us all the way back to the time when her keen Pop sensibilities were hauling itself upright from the ooze. And she. Has. Chosen. Well. We're weeks away from Band Aid and the Eighties are already starting to ming of unwashed cock, but this episode - presented LIVE IN THE STUDIO by Geoffrey and Pigwanker General - is nowhere near as horrific as it could have been, even though there's some right catshit strewn about. Limahl has the last laugh, and is never heard of again. Status Quo are taken to the tip by the Council. Billy Ocean and Eugene Wilde give us a remake of Billie Jean and Sexual Shakin'. Gary Numan's weave makes its TOTP debut. But we get to see Depeche Mode's career turn on a sixpence while they bang on some hunks of concrete, and we get the best Number One of the year that doesn't involve Frankie. Sarah Bee and Taylor Parkes join Al Needham for a critical piss that streams out the bottom of the trouser leg of 1984, veering off on such tangents as the uselessness of Godzooky, Eighties Video Cliche Watch, Numanoid laundry problems, Gary Davies Sex Music, and Heads-Down, No-Nonsense Masturbation.

From its launch in 1967, right through the 70's to the mid 80's...BBC Radio 1 was probably the world's biggest music station! In this edition of the series Shaun Tilley introduces you to DJ Simon Bates, one of the many people behind the network's success during those golden years as he tells the story of ‘his' Radio 1!!

A compilation of archive material from Simon Bates' years at Radio 1.

The latest episode of the podcast which asks: why didn't Top Of The Pops do a Bonfire Night special instead, the traitorous, British-way-of-life-hating bastards? Yeah yeah, we know: another early Eighties one. But if you thought we were going to wait another year before we got stuck into this particular episode, you don't know Chart Music. The Pops is entombed in its rah-rah-rah flags-and-balloons Zoo-wanker phase and has pulled out all the stops (i.e., gone through the BBC props cupboard) decided to do a Halloween special, even though Halloween means next to arse all in the UK in pre-ET 1982. And who else to guide us through this realm of piss-poor joke-shop terror than the Dark Lord Simon Bates? Musicwise, it's a pic n' mix of razor blade-tainted apples and cat shit in shiny wrappers, with a diamond or two lurking at the bottom. The tang of Pebble Mill is strong in this one: Dionne Warwick glares at us in a Margo Leadbetter rig-out. Barry Manilow is DTF. The Beatles arise from the grave. Blue Zoo demonstrate why they're not going to be the next Duran Duran. Raw Silk pointedly ignore that they're performing to a room full of simpletons with net curtains over their heads and waving a cat on a stick. Eddy Grant gets round his horrible missus. Boy George has balloons thrown at him in an aggressive manner. Simon Bates rides a broomstick dressed as Ali Bongo. The Zoo Wankerage is jacked up to the absolute maximum. Meanwhile, in Newcastle, the crew of The Tube are rubbing their hands together with glee. Taylor Parkes and Neil Kulkarni join Al Needham to suckle upon the throat early-Eighties Pop Mankiness, veering off on such tangents as the rubbishness of a British Halloween, being barred out of pubs in Nottingham for looking like Jimmy Savile, the truth about George Martin and the Mopfabs, Rambo Pumpkins, Cilla Back ramming chocolate into people's gobs, BBC4 butchering the only programme they run that anyone's interested in, having 40 Romantic Moments in one week, why we people never talk about Post-Disco, and an astonishing appearance on 3-2-1 by two Chart Music favourites.

Looks Unfamiliar is a podcast in which writer and occasional broadcaster Tim Worthington talks to a guest about some of the things that they remember that nobody else ever seems to. This is a collection of highlights from shows seven to twelve, featuring Lisa Parker and Andrew Trowbridge on the Jaws game, Ben Baker on Mysteries Of Old Peking, Martin Ruddock on Doomlord, Steve O'Brien on High Time and Ice Cold Cube by The Stone Roses, Jem Roberts on an advert reuniting Neil and Vyvyan from The Young Ones, and Mark Griffiths on The Bloke Who Pulled His Pants Down On Kilroy. Along the way we'll be finding out why nothing is scarier than a playing field in Slough, how to spot Simon Bates in disguise via a series of cryptic clues, and what musical genres 'The Young Ones' were followers of. Plus there's also something you may not have heard before - Tim on the radio talking about a TV series from a couple of years back that everyone seems to have forgotten about already... You can find the full shows, and many more besides, at http://timworthington.org/

The latest episode of the podcast which asks: have you got crabs? In this edition, Pop-Crazed Youngsters, we decided to give you the opportunity to watch our selected episode of Pops along with us (providing you keep a finger on the pause button, as we're over five times longer). It's just come out on BBC4, giving you an invaluable opportunity to tut to yourself and say; "God, they didn't even mention that Richard Skinner keeps saying "It's the way you tell them" to Simon Bates, the thick twats." Yes, we're smack in the middle of the Eighties, and a mere nine days away from Live Aid - and no-one realises yet what a massive fault-line it's going to create in Popland, when the dinosaurs come marching back and cram everything around them into their gaping maws. Least of all us, as we're too busy skulking around in a post sixth-form haze, sitting through a Saturday detention due to Tipp-Ex-related obscenities, and pitching a Pants Tent to George Michael in Barry Island Butlins.  Musicwise, however, this episode veers all over the shop, from Pete Burns taking the last stand for Pop Weirdness to Tears For Fears poncing about in Montreux to Paul Weller in his Pants to Oompah Reggae to Mick Hucknall annoying people trying to play pool to Roland Gift singing like he's got a hot bit of potato in his mouth to Ian Astbury dressing up like someone who reads palms in a caravan off Blackpool Pier. It's actually better than expected, although the No.1 is depressingly rammel. And as luck would have it, one of us - who was a Hip Young Cockleslinger at the Barry and District Times - has pulled out his scrapbook and treats us to his original reviews.  Neil Kulkarni and Simon Price join Al Needham for a solid pick at the scab of 1985, veering off on the usual tangents, which include having to go to school with the Topless Lovelies, the correct procedures of cock-drawing, trying to dress like Paul Weller and ending up looking like Eric Morecombe, Quincy Punks, and the Treacherous Steph of Basingstoke. Naturally, swearing is deployed. Often.

Steve Wright And Simon Bates Talk inconsiderate neighbours BBC RADIO 1 May 1990 by Random audio from UK broadcaster Ian Watko Watkins

Danielle Crazy P......................This podcast is dedicated to LOVE. To love and to be loved is happiness. It heightens our emotions and senses. It unites and is a positive force to be reckoned with. It wasn't that easy compiling this selection; there are so many songs which relate to many emotions love inspires, and so you can only honour any emotion at a specific time…therefore my choices are melancholy, poppy, soulful, heartfelt, feminine and with a twist of desire. I'm starting to sound like Simon Bates so I'll leave it there. If I can use this opportunity to say thank you to all my friends and family, because this music selection is inspired by you too-each song tells a love story of its own- and to ultimately the one person I love dearly and who has pulled me through to the here and now-Mr Johnson…with all my love x 1.Outkast-Prototype2.Jill Scott-Cross My Mind3.Teddy Pendergrass-Love TKO4.Eltron John-The copy5.Billy Joel-Just the way you are6.Minnie Riperton-Inside my love7.Prince-Crazy You8.Feist-Inside and Out9.Paul Anka-Lovecats10.Herbie Hancock-Stars11.DJD and Sylvester-Need somebody12.Gus Gus-Unecessary13.The XX-Heart Skipped a beat14.Ron Basejam-Into my life

Simon Bates talks about his years as a DJ at BBC Radio 1

The eighth edition of the podcast which asks: a new version of Top Of The Pops with sketches? FUCK OFF! This episode sees the controls of the Time Sofa hijacked by our own Simon Price, who force-lands it smack in the middle of 1981. He's been saying for ages that '81 is the greatest Pop year ever, forcing us to throw down the frilly, fingerless gauntlet. Things start weirdly with Simon Bates looking like a supply teacher and the return of Slade and Alvin, but then it's wave after wave of 'bands' that don't even have proper drums and make records by just pressing a button, don't you know, interspersed with black men slinking about and even getting skinheads to wave their hands in the air. Any Brexiteers who can stomach Leee John being all sexually threatening and David Sylvian looking like Lady Di will be trapping a creased-up England flag in their bedroom windows in unrestrained joy to see a practically all-British line-up, and Madness have dropped another video, but it's not all good news: Barbara Gaskin comes on like a glammed-up Candice-Marie in Nuts In May, and a soon-to-be-on-the-dole Legs & Co look on as Lulu scabs out and dances with someone called Jeremy. Al Needham, Taylor Parkes and Simon Price pick through the dress-up box that is 1981, veering off to discuss dog auto-fellatio, throwing Molotov cocktails into Welsh churches, whether people in Birmingham are proud of Crossroads (or not), cousins who get pissed up at your auntie's do and accuse you of being gay, and why it's a bad idea to do an Ant Stripe with Tipp-Ex. The usual swearing, and edited dead fast in order to get it out before the end of the month, so if it's shonkier than usual, soz. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Simon provides a fascinating perspective relating to green infrastructure and the planning process, the challenges of engaging developers and house builders, and working with communities to achieve the best outcomes for Exeter and East Devon.

Simon Bates in the eighties on Radio 1- chatting casually to a 28 year old Madonna. Some pretty good insight too! Thanks to Richard White offering me the audio.

Having run a talk station, I can quite imagine what the presenter offices of the old Talk Radio UK must have been like. You hire the greatest talk talent ‘cos they are larger than life. They can debate, argue, generate heat as well as light and win any argument. Off-air they are much the same. Mix James Whale with a dose of Anna Raeburn, a smattering of Simon Bates, a right wing David Starkey and a know it all blunt lawyer like Gary Jacobs, what do you do when Jeremy Beadle walks in with Dale Winton? I know I am mixing the eras there, but I suspect any one of Talk Radio's programmers would confirm that their particular gifted menagerie were quite a handful. Talk went through several eras, as it sought to identify a hole in the UK talk market which was not the BBC's but also not an American shaped. Having launched in 1994, and produced some brilliant programming along the way, alongside some significant challenges, the station lasted for four years before turning into the clearly-defined and successful Talk Sport. This selection of promos, thanks to Drew White, illustrate the TRUK days.
