Leaving Radio, Cold Weiners & Pirate Stations

from Unlikely Friends

This week on Unlikely Friends, the first topic out of the mix is shopping trolleys, which sparks chat about dodgy wheels, the thrill of sitting in the trolley as your mum pushed you round, and all the strange little memories that come with a supermarket trip.From there, the gang move on to radio. Emma reflects on her long career hosting the Heart breakfast show, sharing what she misses most and what she definitely does not. Leigh talks about his own time on Virgin Radio and why he found radio a surprisingly lonely place, while Jade reveals a genuinely fascinating detail from his past: growing up with a pirate radio station in his house.Elsewhere, gold leads to some fairly eye-watering stye chat, while charity work brings out some heartfelt conversation as Emma talks about the causes closest to her. Plus, Pauline the Pineapple rounds things off with a longer letter touching on Emma’s Irish country roots.
