Programme Info (schedule will be here soon)

It's been just over a month since Stroud FM took to the airwaves and what a month it's been! The range and diversity of programmes has been quite staggering.
Special thanks to the main stay presenters who have been toiling around the clock to keep us on air. The morning kicks off at 7am-9am with the Breakfast show. Three days a week that's Barney Neild, Tasha Roche and Louis Wenzweig - they are all media students at Gloucestershire College. They'll have to take a bit more of a back seat in the coming weeks because of the pressure of their studies, so there is a hot seat just waiting for someone else to take over. Other presenters who also get up at the crack of dawn are Steve Rowley, Clare Jackson, Clare Madhiyone and Claire Penketh.
Bernard Wakefield Heath, has been doing stirling work on the drive time slot( 5-7) He's had guests such as Dale Vince, MD of Ecotricity, who did an in- depth interview.Bernard has been rubbing shoulders with the rich and famous at Badminton. He interviewed Zara Philips. He's also done an amazing one man round up of the local elections in the Stroud District. Alice Murray comes in from Chalford to read the news and the What's On's and to keep Bernard company and occasionally mop his brow. The mayor, John Marjoram also popped in on the Friday night.
Our other mainstay presenters include the husky voiced Kate Lewis and the irreverent John Bassett, with his Bizarre Hour. There's more frivolity with Friday Nights Cocktail hour presented by Clare Jackson, Andrea Preston and Sally Bazzett. Andrea also does a punk hour on a Sunday....
Jagdish Patel does an arts round-up programme on a Thursday night and his guests have included Rick Vick from The Space and Neil Walker from Arts Space, along with local bands.
Chris Gregory, who runs Nailstock, had all sorts of local bands coming in to talk about their music on his Saturday afternoon slot in the build up to the festival. Plus, Garry Mitchell, who was on Severn Sound for 12 years, recently kicked off a regular sports programme on a Saturday afternoon.
Scotty's Sunday round-up is a folk programme that's been showcasing local musicians, complete with a live spot.
Paul Moss, who also works on BBC Radio Gloucestershire, has a regular and wonderfully diverse world music music programme. Chas Burns, who runs his own local record labels, has been playing all sorts of local bands..
There's blues from Marion Miller, along with her profiling of local literary talent on the Lit Bit.
Johnny Panic has been introducing a touch of the surreal and psychedelic with his Bible of Dreams show.
All sorts of community groups have been coming in to talk to us about their events, along with a range of bands and artists.
Mike Cooper from the Rotary Club in Nailsworth has been playing tunes aimed at those who were around during the second world war in his Wednesday afternoon slot.
And at the other extreme, we have Josh Allot, who still at school and has his own Sunday night programme.
