So easy to viral music

It’s become so easy to share music, take for instance this new song from Rob Thomas (Nice song actually). I’m able to update my own blog posting this song direct from his webapge. Really nice page and so easy to share and spread this song


What’s in the box?

Since moving to i105107 it’s been a busy few months and I have somewhat neglected the blog and my usual nightime, big mug of coffee web thrawls for great talks, thoughts and creative “things” that helps my own head come up with ideas…

Thought I’d share this amazing talk I came across a few months ago by JJ Abrams (he of Lost, Alias, Star Trek etc). It’s just a joy to watch somebody who is having so much fun with their job….

I watched this again just the other day and thought “What if this guy was talking about radio?”

What would be in that box?


I have moved…..kind of…

Well after nearly 2 years I’ve moved from i102104 to our new sister station i105107. Based in Athlone the station covers the Midlands and North East of the country… email stays the same but the new address for contact is iRadio – i105107, Block C, Monksland Business Park, Athlone.

Thank you to all the team in i102104 – it was some craic. Some highlights below…….

The show that made me sweat every Friday between 4 and 7

The new stations site can be found at www.i105107.ie


And I’m back in the room

This is the latest BBC Radio 2 Trail which was released about 2 weeks ago. It is without doubt the best trail I have ever seen for a radio station.

It sums up exactly what radio is all about….

As they say…. Simplicity is genius

* I also noticed just after publishing this that it is exactly a year ago when I last posted on this blog…. Jesus… and what a year it was too.
