VISION ON SOUND - ADVENTURES IN TWENTIETH CENTURY TELEVISION... AND BEYOND...!
Where the television of the past… …becomes the conversation of the present.
Join us as we take a nostalgic journey through the television vaults, and my guests and I investigate, discover, enjoy, and chat about a whole world of televisual delights, with some occasional nonsense thrown in from time-to-time.
Episode six is, of course, something of a smorgasbord, in the sense that alongside a long chat with STEVE HATCHER of the Derbyshire WHOOVERS which includes his part in organising the annual (when possible) BIG FINISH DAY, I also put in a couple of articles that had been hanging around waiting for their moment for a few weeks.
This included my podcasting mentors (and joint Professors of Kid's-TV-ology) LISA and ANDREW from the ROUND THE ARCHIVES podcast offering up a few thoughts on the TV series RAINBOW, in what might become a semi-regular spot we may yet come to know as KID'S KORNER (or not, obviously), and the second half of the interview with MARTIN UNSWORTH that featured in EPISODE TWO in which he talks about his life at STARBURST MAGAZINE.
First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on November 15 2020
In the sixth edition of VISION ON SOUND, I have a long ZOOM chat with STEVE HATCHER of the Derbyshire WHOOVERS about running a fan group, working with BIG FINISH to produce the annual BIG FINISH DAY, and his several television-related writing projects..
In something of a smorgasbord of an episode, LISA and ANDREW from the ROUND THE ARCHIVES PODCAST share some thoughts on RAINBOW, and listeners will finally, FINALLY, get to hear that long-promised other half of the interview with MARTIN UNSWORTH from STARBURST MAGAZINE, the first part of which featured in EPISODE TWO of VISION ON SOUND.

"It's mostly the same as the broadcast edition. Mostly..."
Apologies to all of you who tuned in to listen to show five at 7:00 last Sunday. Urgent enquiries revealed that the New Broadcaster-hating Gremlins at FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL TOWERS had got into the wainscoting again, and ****ed up the playout computer with an update.
It was quite the week for computer glitches, as you'll be aware from my last posting.
I do sometimes wonder if the Broadcasting Gods have really taken offence at our humble efforts, but I suspect they've yet to notice we're even here.
The more persistent of you will have heard the show at 8:00pm as will anybody who tuned in at 8:00 for whatever they hoped to hear.
Anyway, if that did happen to you and you liked what you heard enough to stick around, welcome aboard the good ship VISION ON SOUND.
Setting my petty problems aside, if you have just discovered us, here’s a gentle reminder that previous editions remain available by tapping VISION ON SOUND into many of your podcast providers of choice.
There's lots to do this week, DIY efforts next door permitting, but I can confidently tell you that despite everything, episode ten did get edited last week, and I'm busily working on editing episode nine (yes, I know...), and episodes 11 & 12 are well in hand to see us all through to the end of the tear when we will stand on the brink of 2021 and wonder "What next?"
As ever, we would recommend that (if you can – I know that you’re all terribly distracted with real-world stuff at that time on a Sunday evening), you listen to the programmes on first transmission (currently SUNDAY EVENING AT 7:00PM in the UK on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL Channel 1) to get the show as nature intended.
New suggestions for the show (and contact details for possible guests to interview if you know any) are always welcome. You can email the show at vos@fabradiointernational.com or contact me via the Twitter feed @VisionOnSound1 and, hopefully, we can all keep the conversation going.
As ever, thanks to PAUL RIPLEY and everyone at FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL for what they do, and thanks to you all for taking an interest.
“Days like these, I feel like falling to my knees..."
Take care.
