This Reality Podcast: No 105

Episode 105: 58 minutes running time

Hello! This week we come to you from Studio B, near very sunny Witney in rural Oxfordshire, England, UK.

Talkie bits:

• Last week’s artist Little Room can be found at http://myspace.com/littleroomuk
• Supporting 6Music means supporting Danny Wallace which is a shame because he’s a tosser
• Leaving comments on the blog of the BBC Director General and the head of BBC Radio
• Emails of support underlining how difficult it is to delete everything in your SMS inbox
• Info about the forthcoming gig at The Jericho Tavern on Thursday 18th March, including Secret Rivals, Sony Liston/Elapse-O and inLight
• Films watched this week include The Island and Lovely Bones to name but two
• Soph’s review of Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland
• Happy 3rd birthday to the Oroborous podcast
• Emails to Dave at the Bugcast about nerdy fuel economy figures
• Email from Stevie B who asked about the influential person who Bren quoted last week when he said, ‘Don’t know too much about the band’. Bren goes on to prove he *does* know too much about the band!
• Catch-up email from our friends Fanfarlo who have concluded a tough tour of US colleges – and finished up with a spot on Letterman! Go you guys!
• Information about Alcopop! Records and a mix of four tracks from two of their groups
