Sad news today. It’s hard to imagine radio without Bob Harris on it somewhere, sharing his amazing and unsurpassed knowledge and taste in music.
Here’s hoping Bob is able to recover and enjoy his retirement, and maybe even pop up with a proper farewell show at some point 🤞❤️
He’s the King of Hollywood on TV, but did you know @TheRossKing had a career on the radio?
Well he joins me for this week’s #RadioGreats to chat about his radio life on #Clyde and @Capradland!📻😊
Plus as you hear below, a story involving the Swimming Pool at Clyde!😁

We need a new collective noun! A majesty of Magic mugs? A bounty of Bauer booty?!
Ironically, it was my wife (the one who normally says ‘no more mugs!’) that picked up this little lot 😆 Apparently originally won in a giveaway as Bauer were leaving One Golden Square.

“No more mushy medium wave with all that interference!”. The FM switch-on finally arrived on September 1st 1988. Anyone for some Radio 1 FM boxer shorts?
If you loved 80s radio, a new episode of my show ‘Stuck in the 80s’ will be released for the bank holiday weekend.
A brilliant wedding anniversary gift from Mrs Attic! 😍
A mini radio from my hometown station, Hallam FM - and from the era that my anoraking really kicked in fully!
It still works too - so definitely The Sound of Success, as the station slogan went back then!
How Radio 1 looked in the 80s 4/5. Before the FM switch on, let’s go back to ‘87 where London listeners were already in stereo. In September, the station turned 21 and “the only station… with our new jingle package on CD”. Here’s my copy signed by a radio hero - Adrian Juste.
Radio 1 in the 80s: 3/5. August '88, at the roadshow in Cleethorpes (sporting the new FM logo on stage) I bought my favourite goodie - this Radio 1 clock. Included was a pamphlet, teasing a huge change for the station which would happen in less than a month.
“It’s coming!”
