Puse 98.4


The largest community station in Scotland, Pulse 98.4 is based in an former janitor's house atop a hill in Barrhead and the first thing I noticed about it is that it has one of the best views of any radio station i've been to.

Looking out over renfrewshire and glasgow you can literally wave to your audience, they won't wave back but that probably because you just look like a stranger on a hill waving. 
My 'partner in crime' Johnny and I have recently just gained a spot on tuesday evenings 10 till 12 PM. Clearly we aren't content with having to get up at 6 AM for a sunday show every week too. (Different station) 

Johnny and I have been good friends and co-host's for a number of years now and we now almost always know what the other person is going to say, and like a lot of good partnerships the goal is just to make the other guy laugh. -A bit selfish where the audience is concerned, but I belive people listening really know when two people on air really get on.  Programmes where this is not the case are abundant in the UK, due to the 'male host female co-host' syndrome we seem to have. 

This new show on Pulse is unlike anything we've done before. Nothing I don't think we can rise to.. but something that will take a bit of time to settle. The people at pulse have been very helpful with this, particularly regarding style and removal of Falkirk/ Fife accent.
