Moving the Radio to its new location in Space 6!

Sidney Grove in the heat and dust

Another pre-recorded playlist because it's too darn hot to go to the studio - lots of cooling tunes.

Record-breaking Adham Fisher on Culture Lab Radio

Adham Fisher, right, and Ian Wilson visit Culture Lab Radio

On the 24th of November, self-confessed train fanatic Adham Fisher broke the record for visiting every station on the Tyne and Wear Metro, visiting all sixty stations in two hours, fifty-six minutes and thirty-two seconds.

Fisher's record attempt was recorded for a documentary to be broadcast on Culture Lab Radio later this month. Keep an eye on the schedule and our Twitter feed for more details

Website refresh

We're proud to say we've just launched our brand new website at http://culturelabradio.ncl.ac.uk/ - check it out!

This is the first in a series of improvements to the station over the next few months, so keep an eye on this space.

Power failure - now fixed :)

Edit:

Aaaaand, we're back. Normal service is now resumed.

Look out for a new website and other exciting developments over the next few months (**rolls eyes mysteriously**)

Evening all. I'm afraid to say that we've had a power failure here at Culture Lab Radio Towers, which means we'll be off-air for a wee while. I can't say how long it'll last, but I'll be sure to update you all here, on Facebook and on Twitter when I can.

In the meantime, why not listen to Ellie and Oliver at http://www.ellieandoliver.co.uk/ ? They really are rather good :)

Sidney Grove Sunday returns

After a few weeks break from groundcutting and edgebreaking netcasting (without any fish being hurt) I have been prompted to return to your Sunday morning ears by the saddest event.

On Thursday evening John Kings died - you don't know him but I do. He spent the last 30 years working to improve the lives of rural Africans, latterly through the organisation run by himself and Mary his wife in South Africa, www.tsogang.org - I was privileged to help that work for a few weeks in 2009 after leaving Culture Lab.

John was an amazing bloke and we shared a love of music some of which I would like to share with you on Sunday.

New shows
