h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hello there,

I'm dropping by to let you know that 42FM is being featured in Croz's Community Activities on the Talk (http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/Talk) page this week, and has also been categorised in the World of h2g2.

Great job guys!

Howlin' Wolf Tal here.

Thanks for droppin' by, man. It's been kind lonely here, since we are still a bit short on staff..

BTW, you wouldn't happen to have a spare hacksaw handy, now would you?

Y'see, the deputies left me handcuffed to the control panel, and I've been helpin' myself to the generously supplied by the management, and... well... you know

Or maybe you could send someone over later?

*Rummages around his briefcase for a hacksaw*

Hopefully now you're on the Talk page and categorised, people will slowly drop by.

I couldn't find a fingers crossed smiley, so a legs crossed one will have to do

Hello, nice radio station. So what kind of chessy music do you play here?

Wal, hell, boy!

~adjusts large wad of chewing tobacco. spits~

We plays *both* kinds a moosic heah - country *and* western

Cool

You should do a phone-in some time...

All we got so far. We still a bit short on staff, but we 'spect things'll pick up some over time.. Maybe you would like to come up with a show, or be a radio engineer or somp'in

Do a special, why don't ya? Then advertise and promote, and you'll get all kinds a folks phonin' and droppin' by

Hey Tal Glad you reminded me of that! I forgot about the radio statiion, plus it looks like the owner of this did too.. I suspect they thought it was too much to handle on their own? And nobody knows who it is! Though it did get a mention on the talk page.. maybe this was all the towers' idea like you suggested tal!

Human Circus will resume from Monday 24th september 2001

*wipes dust off reception desk*
Is anyone still at this page? / Is it still being used?
It looks awfully derilict to me...

I think that this is an excellent concept, and I was wondering if people could get together and fix up the station?

I reckon we could start a new page, have radio broadcasters under their own names to avoid confusion, different channels under one page...

I reckon the possibilities are unlimited!
(i'm putting this posting on a few of the conversations to try to get his station back together...)

Geez, what time is it?

Uh, so many people have left the building over the years that it is hard to tell who dood whot to whom.

For a bit of radio-style humour, check out Escape Pod Dreams in the Post.

now, shush...

Do you think anyone will mind if I try to reincarnate the radio station?

J.J

Huh?
Ah, no, go right ahead.

cool!

J.J

It wouldn't hurt to drop by the Post Office to let Shazz or Greebo know what you're planning.

It just might give you a little boost.

I'm probably going to start off the page, then ask the people at eh post team to advertise it a bit, then hopefully It'll keep going from there...

J.J

By any chance, are you interested in hosting a channel for the new radio station? it's at A974423...

J.J

Not at the moment.
The premise of my weekly Post column, "Escape Pod Dreams" is a fictional radio station. I create three to four radio scripts per week for it.

*wipes dust out of eyes. sneezes*

If someone will kindly remove these dang cuffs, (and refill the keg!), Ol' Howlin' Wolf Tal'll be mighty happy to do the Blues thing and spin a yarn or two..

Well, here I go, talking to myself again

Anyway, I just realized those dang handcuffs are gone.. So I'm starting to refurbish the studio a bit.

Got a new stylus for the old vinyl player. Replaced a tube or two in the amp, puttin' new strings on my axe, so's I can play along

Replaced the 'b' in 'Publication' Some fool must've run off with the original one...

Refilled the keg

Now if we can just get some more folks interested. Be kinda nice to do some phone in talk shows, get some interviews with some local and not so local talent.

Stay tuned

Oh boy...
