As the warmer weather prevails…. LMYB hots up!
We’ve had lots of things going on under the surface, and the most exciting is our first ‘Cloudcast’…
What’s a ‘Cloudcast’ I hear you say? Well, it’s the LMYB show available online for a week or so on your computer or smart phone – you don’t have to download it so it doesn’t take up any memory. This way, you can listen again, rewind & listen over & over (or the first time even…) at your convenience and get the juicy bits you might have missed before.. oh, and, er… we have to take the music out.
It’s a work in progress so please check it out and let me know how it suits you. I’m STILL working on getting it out as a podcast (downloadable file) and I’m also trying to commission a listen again slot(s) – so keep watching this space.
Click the link to hear this week’s show
Or listen below.
So, now you can hear us as much as you like, we’re packing the show with even more quality guests and features.
Over the summer I have commandeered the services of George Patchett as my Production Assistant. George has been volunteering at Siren for nearly a year now since his school had had enough of him and sent him on a weeks placement. George looks after the technical stuff and gets involved with news and features as well as delivering our ‘Top Tips’ each week.
I’ll be joined by a host of regular contributors to share their knowledge, skills experiences on how business news affects us all.
Our show format runs a bit like this:
11:00 Global, National & Local business news with a special guest reviewer
11:30 Jobslot & Business features/analysis
12:00 News headlines, markets & weather
12:05 Weekly feature/survey & opinion
12:30 What’s On for your business & pleasure inc. your top tips
13:00 IRN News
All mixed together with some top tunes that we choose ‘especially for you’! (NOT the Kylie & Jason song…)
I try to keep the show lightly stirred up but LMYB is your show! Please let me know if you’d like more in-depth features, harder hitting interviews or more analysis.
Beethoven’s 5th will be very poignant as it will be the last this tune gets played as the closing bed… cos, this will be my last LMYB show!!
