Note to self - you cannot write a 'tribute' show in a week. (my writing week being 1 day planning, 2 days writing, 1 day recording and editing)
Still stuck on planning on day 3

You made it very easy for me, so thank-you for that!

Showtune - How Sondheim Can Change Your Life 15.11.24 A Sondheim special, with Special Guest Richard Schoch

I had a lovely chat last night with @richardschoch.bsky.social where he reminded me that he was the first live guest on my show (62 episodes ago😱) so I thought that it would be fun so share the link again as he was fascinating to talk to and it's a great book!

Show 222 today. I know that there are much bigger things going on as the world explodes around us, but it's big for me......and a pleasant way to spend an hour

I would vote, but I am not allowing Daily Fail cookies on any of my devices😅

I created Showtune to be the show that I wanted to listen to. Few repeats, talk only relevant to shows, no pop versions. Interestingly, its core audience is theatre workers and avid theatregoers.

Every single positive review means so much to a show like this. To everyone who has taken the time to leave me a comment - Thank-you, you truly do make my day (week/month)

If you have never listened to the show, why not give it a go and see if you like it too?

You get to watch more of it than we do too usually!

Internet radio means that you can listen anywhere in the world - It also means that I can get away with a more risqué playlist 🤣🤣🤣

Showtune 221 10.04.2026 The finest songs from stage and screen musicals - this week with a rather risque theme!

This week's show is now online. Can you guess what the theme is just from the shows featured this week?

www.mixcloud.com/RadioAbbey/s...

Yes, but it's too late for me, my phone is turned off and in my bag, by the time it's on again, it's all over😂
Besides - I'm busy clapping!

As an ex FOH worker, it goes against everything in my nature to take photos or video, even of the empty set. As someone who is desperately trying to promote a radio show though, I find that my social media content can't compete with those who do. I respect the rules to the end, even if it's bad 4me

Radio Abbey and Abbey End Studios Radio Abbey is an online radio station for Kenilworth, Warwickshire.

On now on www.radioabbey.com

There have been a few times this week when I wondered if I would be!

Doing this radio show has brought me some fantastic opportunities and experiences, but honestly, most of the time it's just me having a major battle with myself to do the work every week!

Nearly 5 years in and I still haven't worked out how to promote my show

All I know is that there are people who know and love musicals, who I respect, that love it
- and also that I am better at putting together a playlist than I am at social media!

One review of my show that made me laugh said that my voice was so relaxing to listen to that I could have a career narrating ASMR videos.

Still not sure if they were implying that I sent them to sleep🤣
(joking, it was a very positive review)

There's no new show this week because it's bank holiday (thank goodness because I'm not on top of things this week) but there are plenty of wonderful songs waiting in my old shows, all but 2 of which are on mixcloud.com/RadioAbbey
