Relocate your business to Lower Mountpoint!

If you listened in on Thursday 27 March (or listened again) - firstly; thank-you.

Secondly you may have wondered what the heck was all that stuff about Lower Mountpoint? Aren't we in Kington Langley? Is that near Kennet? It's all very confusing, but confusion is good, it keeps us on our toes.

So here's the deal. You probably noticed we've moved from GVR (or ITFM, not entirely sure about that) to Kennet Radio

Kennet Radio is based in Newbury, and we're in Wiltshire...so hearing about things in Kington Langley & Chippenahm was all a bit odd for the Berkshire listener, so we came up with a great idea.

Let's move to Cyberspace! We came up with the idea of a "Virtual Village"  - I expect it's been done before, but hey...I think it's a Hoot.

Next we came up with the name "Lower Mountpoint" - it sounds sufficiently old worldy, but links to Internet streaming (a mountpoint is what you connect to to listen to the show live). It doesn't exist in the real world (at least I couldn't find it) and we're still inventing new neighbouring villages and towns (feel free to join in via comments here). 

This way everyone is confused, and we're all happy.

I'm just trying to curb my natural enthusiasm - I can see village blogs, adverts, classifieds... the possibilities (and gossip) could be endless (we even thought about building a Minecraft version). 

Let me know if you want to be involved...there's some outlets for some creative writing here I think!

So it's been a funny old week really. If you tuned in to GVR on Thursday night you'll have noticed I wasn't there. I've decided to focus my energies with the team at Kennet radio and so Thursday was my first show on the Kennet stream.

Well it was supposed to be. If you tuned in to Kennet on Thursday you'll have noticed I wasn't there either!

After a successful day of testing on Wednesday we were bullish that everything was tickety-boo. Then the gremlins got in. I don't know how, or even where they got, but they got.

But we're chilled, I sat and listened to my show with a beer and chatted online with the folks that were trying to listen too.

Of course, sod's law says the link is working fine today, so maybe I just angered the Gods of Internet Radio.
As you can see in the photo, I'm still broadcasting from a toilet, but the satellite dish is much bigger, so hopefully all will be well on Thursday!

Paul's Dental Tip of the Weeeeeek!

Picture"Paul, the dentist"
We started a new spot on the show last week, which seems to have grabbed folks attention - 
"Paul's Dental tip of the weeeeek".

"So what's it all about" I hear you say?


Well the show is called How Bizarre because quite frankly my life tends to be a bit bizarre most of the time, and I wouldn't have it any other way. This years ski trip was no exception, and that's where we met Paul.


Day 2 and we're sitting in a cafe after a decent days skiing, having a beer and eating wine gums like you do. Big mistake. Suddenly there's something in my mouth that doesn't feel like a wine gum, and it turned out to be a crown!!
My day took a turn for the worse then, worrying about spending the week with a gap in my smile and a hole in my jaw.
By happy coincidence it turned out that Paul, who was on the same table, was a dentist and to cut a long story not so long, he helped glue my crown back in place and I was a happy bunny again.


We spent the week skiing with Paul (an ace skier, enabling Charlie to tackle some monster black moguls!) and his daughter Ellie (who became great mates with Annabel). Each day, on a ski lift or in a mountain cafe, Paul wuld give us a dental tip, each more fascinating than the last.


Lightbulb moment - wouldn't it be great to share this on the show, and lo, "Paul's Dental Tip of the weeeek" was born.


Paul owns a dental practise (Purely Dental) up in Harrogate Leeds, with his partner Rosanna. He's incredibly enthusiastic about Oral health, and has a cracking voice for radio too!
