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!
