One of the other things I’m lucky enough to do is play music on the radio. 😀 I have an alternative show called “The Nova Guestlist” on @radionova100 on a Sunday night from 8pm, & I tweak away at the over the week, making notes & adding songs & ideas - I absolutely love it!
So basically, the show’s about alternative & live music, so I play music that I think Nova listeners would love, stuff that I love, & stuff I HOPE that listeners will. There’s a bit of second guessing that goes with that, but generally, people are receptive if you’re passionate.
So, I set up my playlist, add in songs from home if there’s any, then fiddle round with a run order (overthinking usually) & tinker til I’m happy. I choose 3 gigs of the week in Dublin- this week it’s @ilovelucius, @sopharela (Soccer Mommy, cannot wait) & a dude called @hozier!
The legend that is Pat James is here too, setting up his classic show for the Nova Digital station, he plays a fairly eclectic mix, from blues to modern stuff, check it out, it’s perfect if that’s your buzz!
Now, I’m on air in literally 15 mins & I’m not set up, so I’d better get on with it here...
The brilliant @GavinGlassMusic Irish music show “Locals only” is just finishing here, so quick tea... here we go...
We are live on @radionova100 ! Like piloting a small plane... :)
The Walkmen! LOVE THIS SONG. (This is a posed photo signifying reaction, actor was recompensed for his time)
If anyone has any question about radio or anything this week... please ask! I have 1 hour left on the account here... 😀
There appears to be a JFK documentary on the telly & I don’t know how to turn it off. He looks presidential though, which is lovely for him.
One of the things I try to do on the show is a balance of Irish & international, recent / older, & male / female; the last hour was a bit more male vocalists, so this hour has more female vocalists. I know this sounds like overthinking, but it’s kinda a challenge to myself too..
BEST ARCADE FIRE SONG DON’T @ ME

Anyway... that was a bit of my radio show... that’s it from me!
