Last time, we were dancing back at the school disco, reliving the days of great music and terrible clothes, but this month I’m going to take you all back to the toys and hobbies we all enjoyed in the decade where even a trip to Woolworths was a dazzling experience. Here us kids would eagerly enter clutching their pocket money or dragging in your rich grandma to gaze in wonder at gaudy coloured toys and…

Hello everyone it's me again Logan Richards. I hope you are all doing well. Hasn't it been exciting for us all with this snow? As I sit and type this I am observing a swift fall of snow.

A lovely lady helped by reassuring me it was ok that…

You’re not alone, as surveys show that two fifths of us are doing less exercise in this lockdown than in the first lockdown. It’s no surprise really, as back in spring 2020 it was nice weather, light mornings and evenings and the lockdown was initial a novelty for us. Many people actually increased their activity levels during the first lockdown by using their extra time to exercise more, start a new fitness plan and to…
Hello again, only me. Still sitting at home following the rules and doing some volunteer stuff as and when I can. Enjoying doing my show on Hull Kingston Radio more than ever too, the feedback has been very sweet, thank you. If you haven’t heard it you are missing a treat, the music is sublime. Lots of gems from the 80s you haven’t heard for years and won’t hear anywhere else. C30 C60 C90 Go…
