At the Audio Festival today. After our industry charity abandoned the word ‘Radio’ in its title last year, the first session is on whether the ‘R’ word still matters. #AudioFestival26

Good luck to everyone standing in, reporting on, or exercising their right to vote in Jersey’s general election today. 🗳️ I’m off on holiday so voted early. We’re all agreed that following coverage by the pool would be really sad, right? Definitely won’t be doing that 👀 #jsy26

We've been hard at work shipping our first update to Aiir Scheduler of the year, and it's a game-changer! Stations can now back up libraries and even copy them between organisations, making it ideal for music consultants to provide clients with formats they made earlier. aiir.com/blog/post/ne...

Peak #OverheardInJersey moment out for lunch just now, as a lady at the next table turns to her dining companions and loudly says: “I hope you don’t mind if we don’t have any bread. I don’t eat it as it makes you fat.” *pauses and looks at her husband* “Neither should you.”

A plea to anyone cleverer than me: why does my new iPhone no longer function as a phone? I put it in flight mode when I left Jersey, then when I landed, no amount of restarting or resetting gets either SIM back to life?!
