A fucking typical Radio 2 ramble for a Saturday:
1. Josh Widdicombe was an unexpected delight covering Liza Tarbuck's show this evening. Old soul, music depth and quick to embrace the #FOTS.
2. Sophie Ellis-Bextor is sitting in for Gary for an Indie #Sot80s next week. Pre-record all over that.

It's worth bigging up #Sot80s because the entire second hour last Saturday was devoted to Suzanne in the studio

Incredibly generous, and gracious - despite Gary Davies not being the most attentive interviewer

19 passed me in 1985.
Now thinking of the late teen relatives being packed off to fight a far-away war...

Hi,
I wondered if #SOT80s is doing 'The Best Summer Ever' again this year? 🌞

OMG my favourite version of 'Cry Me A River' on #SOT80S Chilled Edition (it was used as a TV theme at the time) and I could never find it. Going to see if the passing years have made it available anywhere!

On Saturday evenings between 8 and 10 @djgarydavies leads @BBCRadio2's celebration of the Sounds of the 80s. Here's the Saturday evening schedule in this slot for all the decades back to the launch of Radio 2. #SOT80s #soundsofthe80s (no.30 in a series of Radio 2 timelines)
