OJR Classic Show From October 2010 With Steve Mason. All The Chat That Matters

OJR Classic Show From October 2010 With Steve Mason. All The Chat That Matters

Another classic show from October 2010 with OJR favourite Steve Mason. This week Les and Steve discuss computer games, the elephant man and death. To be honest I have only heard a tiny bit of this so anything could be on there. See you in court.

An early recording so it might sound not quite as good as we would have liked.

Jul 01, 201901:57:31
OJR Classic Show. Listener As Presenter. October 2010

OJR Classic Show. Listener As Presenter. October 2010

A classic show from October 2010 where brave Les takes his life in his hands and allows one of the fanatical listeners to come on and actually present a show. This time it was the turn of the very lovely Gavin Hallam.

An early recording so it might sound not quite as good as we would have liked.

A New show from 25th May 2019 where Les & Dod bring you all your favorite features. Scratch Card Challenge, crazy calls, poetry, sketches and much more. This week the lads are joined by conceptual artist Scott Hawkins and his hand build instuments making what can be only described as a "racket".

May 29, 201901:55:00
Early Show. March 2005 "Hit Record You Fool"

Early Show. March 2005 "Hit Record You Fool"

Early Show from March 2005. Occasionally I would forget to hit record at the start of the show and we would end up with a chunk missing at the begining and as such the show would never be heard of again. This is one such show. At least 15 mins are missing from the start. probably a good thing. The content of this show is still a mystery to me.

May 29, 201901:59:35
Early Show November 2005 "Sound Track Challenge"

Early Show November 2005 "Sound Track Challenge"

This Show from November 2005 was one of the first that we attempted to put something into it that wasn't just Steve and I trying to make each other laugh on air. Sit back and enjoy the chaos that is "Sound Track Challenge"

Early show so the sound isn't always what it could be.

May 29, 201901:56:51
Early Show. Jan 2005. "Pass the mic" Steve Mason & Les Bell

Early Show. Jan 2005. "Pass the mic" Steve Mason & Les Bell

The very first show of 2005. These extremely early shows have a certain charm. When this show was broadcast we had so little equipment we were actually sharing one microphone. No format. Some hilarious moments, some that have made me cringe badly and some I have actually had to edit out lest we all end up in prison (only one though).

May 29, 201903:00:56
OJR "Aliens" special. January 27th 2005

OJR "Aliens" special. January 27th 2005

Les Bell looses his comedy control in this rough as hell very early Old Jock Radio fiasco. Not really a show more of an "event" featuring the post Beta Band pop combo "The Aliens" live in the studio causing more than a little chaos and still not grasping that for a mic to work you need to talk into it. If you are new to this then pick any other show to start your listening experience. One for the hard core OJR fan, not the casual listener. Three hours...three bloody hours.

May 20, 201902:59:52
Classic Show. March 2010. "Knock Knock, who's there?"

Classic Show. March 2010. "Knock Knock, who's there?"

It's March 2010 and Les has somehow locked Rich out of the OJR studio in a pathetic bid to keep the gloroius shimmering light of fame firmly fixed on himself and not have it defused onto lesser mortals. It's not going to work is it?

May 07, 201901:55:00
Classic Episode. Oct 30th 2008. "Issues, Issues, Issues"

Classic Episode. Oct 30th 2008. "Issues, Issues, Issues"

October 30th 2008 and Les is joined in the Studio by his good pal Professor Steven Mason. It's issues night and the lads want to get down and grapple with some serious issue based comment, throw some irons in the fire and see if anybody want's to run it up the flag pole. This is quickly forgotten and the usual unfocused rubbish prevails.

May 07, 201901:56:10
Classic Episode Nov 17th 2005 "These Charming Men"

Classic Episode Nov 17th 2005 "These Charming Men"

Nov 17 2005. A very early show featuring Les and Dod in good form. Highlights include A Mexican stand off between The Wombles and The Barron Knights, Dod's magazine headlines and and a phoned in Bob Dylan live review from none other than Dr Steven Mason. As this is a very early show expect unprofesionalism and dodgy sound quality. Enjoy.
May 07, 201902:01:12
