This is Martin, Danielle and myself celebrating after our first show together on Absolute Radio. We weren't just celebrating our first show... we all had something individual that's worth celebrating and it says something about the confessional nature of radio that words slipped out on air that I would be nervous of typing here. The work/life separation feels more blurred on the wireless for some reason.I reckon it was nice and relaxed for a first show and while I'm sure things will get smoother here and there I liked its rough-around-the-edges feel. Martin's song at the end - summarising the e-mails and texts that had come in over the two hours was really something to behold. Amazing really.
The listeners do as much to define a station as anything else so seeing so many texts and e-mails come in really did make us feel very welcome. Thanks all.
It wasn't just messages either... there were a few jingles made by listeners too. Thanks to Jerry Mandarin (nice jingle, surely not a real name... gerrymandering... hmmm), David Wilks (very bizarre, that one) and Tom White (made us laugh each and every time we played it) for those. We have some more that we haven't heard yet and we'd love it if you kept them coming in. It set a really nice tone for the show.
If you're not a Sunday morning kind of person, the podcast is up already.

Congratulations Dave, both on a cracking first show, and on the thing you're nervous of writing here. x
I tuned in over the webcast for the show and have to say I loved it! Since I live in Sweden I doubt I will ever get to see you perform live but the webcast and webcam was a joy anyway! Keep it up! I will surely tune in next week as well.
Hi Dave - just listened to the podcast (was somewhat hungover on sunday so missed it then.....) Fab first show - I loved the comedy jingle, and in fact got shouted at at work for laughing :)
Also, weird tho it may be as I've never met you, I'm so pleased for you and your news. Muchos congratulations. I know a lot of people who are having a really pants time of life at the moment and it really brightened my day to hear someone with such good news - so yey for you both :)
Oh my goodness, how lovely! I'm really happy for you.
Yay! An unquestionably happy chapter to add to the Gorman book of adventures. About bloomin' time!
All the best wishes in the world, with no appologies for gushing.
emx
Great show (or podcast, anyway), and thanks for the jingle-love. And thanks Rachael.
So pleased to hear your news. Congratulations! Liz Twitchell
Massive congrats to you both!
OK not had chance to listen yet - teacher @ term time! Is it 2 person news, or 3? I can think of 2 possiblilites.....
@vicky: I'm with you on the term time issue, but if you listen to the start of the podcast, it should become clear.
Nice two hour slot on Sunday put aside for planning now though!
Congratulations Dave. I am extremely happy for you
