Tash Bandara @tashbandara.co.uk · 11/03/2026Liza Tarbuck on the wireless. For years it has been my Saturday evening ritual - 6pm sharp (after Kitty Cat Cardwell with the news, of course) to sit down with a glass (well, bottle) of red - and just enjoy the BEST TWO HOURS on Radio 2. I will miss you. *Squeak Squeak* 2120

Tash Bandara @tashbandara.co.uk · 12/01/2025I’ve been doing some investigating @thejeremyvine.bsky.social. Pop some headphones on. LEFT: Your ROT from Friday’s show. RIGHT: R2 Highway jingle “as delivered” You’re right: the “gap” in the jingle has definitely been edited LONGER! 😟 040
Tash Bandara @tashbandara.co.uk · 02/01/2025It’s only Day 2 of 2025 and I’ve already started the day with a shot of whiskey in my coffee. It’s not going well. 000

Tash Bandara @tashbandara.co.uk · 27/12/2024EXCLUSIVE: #SteveWright In The Afternoon - BBC Radio 2 The "Talkie Bits" (as Steve first christened them on R1 back in the 90s) were pre-recorded in the morning… …which meant there were just so many funny outtakes that never went to air. We kept them all, though. soundcloud.com/user-5838636...soundcloud.comSteve Wright In The Afternoon - Outtake:Off the radio. It's often a request, not a statement though. 000

Tash Bandara @tashbandara.co.uk · 17/12/2024@thejeremyvine.bsky.social Someone at R2 is definitely messing with you… the ‘gap’ in the 13:05 Highway jingle is definitely getting longer!! 000
Tash Bandara @tashbandara.co.uk · 14/12/2024I just saw a fire truck on fire. You couldn’t make this up. 010

Tash Bandara @tashbandara.co.uk · 21/11/2024Enjoying this current season of Dead Ringers on BBC Radio 4 #FridayNightComedy. Some really great writing, and of course - superb impressions. Steve Wright fans: Lewis Macleod’s “Jeremy Vine” makes a regular appearance. You’ll remember his stuff from: www.mixcloud.com/tashbandara/... 030
Tash Bandara @tashbandara.co.uk · 17/11/2024We’ve lost too many greats this year. Awfully sad to hear about Howie. THE voice. We remember him from IRN, Capital, Berks - but every single day (for a time), I heard him as the voice of BBC Radio 2. 040
Tash Bandara @tashbandara.co.uk · 15/11/2024Obligatory radioey/anorakky/jingley post: “Peaking 6 1/2!!” as Wrighty would’ve liked. Friday Fun at our OB this morning, coming to you from a makeshift studio we built in an hour out of some string and tinfoil. Lots of serious crunchin’ and rollin’ - and plenty of AJ jinglin’ (No Gs all round) 170
Tash Bandara @tashbandara.co.uk · 23/09/2024@simonmayo.bsky.social I’ve afraid you’ve been caught out Sir. At 17:08 on the last edition of the Confessions Podcast: You gave a mention to a certain “Dan Gleebits”. Which is clearly meant to represent “Dangly …” Love the show. 000
Tash Bandara @tashbandara.co.uk · 10/05/2024@simonmayo.bsky.social “IT’S A GORILLA MAN” (my Italian accent will never be as good as yours, Father Simon) PS. please tell Brother Matt that BlueSky is a thriving community with more than four people, thank you very much (although admittedly I did download it just to text you every Friday) 010
Tash Bandara @tashbandara.co.uk · 06/04/2024@simonmayo.bsky.social Spangles on your eggs!! (Love the show, Steve) 010
Tash Bandara @tashbandara.co.uk · 01/04/2024@simonmayo.bsky.social Hi Simon. Very interesting to hear your ‘Confession From The Crypt’ this week was VERY similar to a classic Radio 1 Confession I remember… www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/shows... What are the chances?! 😯bbc.co.uk BBC - Radio 2 - Shows - Simon Mayo Drivetime - Confessions: The Seaside Bus Trip Simon Mayo's Drivetime show for BBC Radio 2 including music, features and guests. 000
Tash Bandara @tashbandara.co.uk · 14/03/2024Hello world! Just joined Bluesky because @simonmayo.bsky.social mentions it at the end of every episode of the NEW #ConfessionsPodcast (just rated you 5* on rTunes, by the way). Hope I’m not too late to the party. Love the show, Steve. (Whoops, wrong podcast) 060
