Clips from the award-winning programme "Chalk and cheese" which aired weekly on Nerve Radio. The show was a light-hearted comedic music and talk show which contained a variety of quirky and highly developed thought out features such as ‘Play that Tune’ a game which involved guests coming in and playing a variety of songs on a kazoo with everyone else having to guess what the song is. The programme featured a variety of ‘cheese’ music and was also selected to feature several times as a slot at the student nightclub during several student radio takeover events as well as the end of year student festival “Summer Ball” playing a selection of the songs featured on the show.  The show went onto win an award for Best Entertainment Show.  

A featured interview from the Hope FM Breakfast Show.  Speaking to Erika Petrie from Shades of Different a website dedicated to Children with Down Syndrome.  In the interview, she talks about the song the website is named after “Different” as well as the live blog the website had recently launched.

University final graduate project produced in 2015 which was awarded a First Grade which markers described as “An impressive piece of work that showed off your talents as a write, presenter, editor and producer”.   This pilot episode explores the UK Wife Carrying Race in Dorking and visited Oxfordshire to talk to the organisers of the World Pooh Sticks Championships.

The concept behind “A Series of Unusual Events” was a 30 minute series of episodes that would explore the unusual events and traditions taking place around the United Kingdom. Looking at a variety of events such as Bog Snorkeling, Wife Carrying, and Pooh Sticks the show would ask what is the history behind these events, why people take part, and why people are interested in such quirky events.

Gizmo was a magazine-style programme that was a project in Year 2 at Bournemouth University.  The Great Tech Race was a Top Gear / Gadget Show inspired challenge which focused on the usability of the newly introduced WiFi on the London Underground system.   The segment was split across three parts which were then broadcasted throughout the show between other segments. The project achieved a first grade for its professionalism, creativity and planning.

The Great Tech Race segment was presented by Robbie Dove and Produced by Ryan Boydon.
