  • #14 Seagull Trust Cruises - Hospital Radio in Space? - Yorkshire Pudding x 4
    Apr 19 2025

    So what is the Saturday in mid-Easter called? Shannon and Tom aren't sure, but they are here anyway for another Saturday Drop In.

    They were joined in the studio by the wonderful Ramsay McGhee from Seagull Trust Cruises. Ramsay is part of the Highland branch of Seagull Trust who take people with additional needs and the elderly on cruises along the Caledonian Canal in their adapted barge Highland Cross Seagull. https://seagulltrust.org.uk/highland-branch/

    With billionaires in space we think up a good team from Highland Hospital Radio who could take hospital radio broadcasting to space. Tom seems determined to ask Shannon about Yorkshire Puddings. Shannon lets Tom know that the Saturday Drop In is her second show!

    We play Guess the Year and Beat Detective with a canal theme crammed in. With national feet week this week promoting good foot health (and we are supposed to be about health and well being) we play a game of 'Foot or Boot' as our This or That quiz. Shannon did well not to run out the studio!

  • #13 Florian's Theatre - AI Action Figures - Shannon shows off a big rock!
    Apr 12 2025

    Shannon and Tom are back for another Saturday Drop In. Shannon is bringing something new and shiny to the show in the never ending quest for content!

    We're joined by Morag and Fiona from The Florian's Theatre to talk about their forthcoming production of 'Get Up and Tie Your Fingers'. The play about the 'Herring Lassies', the term for the woman who would work to process the herring catches in coastal towns around Scotland. The play, set in Eyemouth, focusses on the events of 'Black Friday' October 1881 when a storm lead to the loss of 189 men. Morag and Fiona also told us about The Florian's history and the theatre. You can find out more, and buy tickets by visiting florians.org.uk.

    We have our usual Guess the Year and Beat Detective. This weeks This or That sees Shannon challenge Tom to guess between Pharmaceutical terms and Dictionary words. Also titled as Doctors term or Dictionary term. The further abbreviation of Doc or Dic will definitely not lead to disaster!

  • #12 Out There Mobile Sensory Room - ABBA Ja or ABBA Naw - Phil Walker, Air Guitar Hero
    Apr 5 2025

    Join Tom Nelson with guest host Phil Walker for another Saturday Drop In. Yes, we're noticing Shannon is away again! But, it's for a good reason. More on that next week.

    Dropping in this week is our guest Jon Lane who has created a unique idea in 'Out There' a mobile sensory room. We chat about how the van came to be, who the van can benefit and also meet Wilfred the cat!

    The show was live on the day of ABBA's Agnetha Fältskog's 74th birthday, so we made quiz fan Phil take part in a special ABBA edition of This or That titled 'ABBA Ja or ABBA Naw'. See if you can match Phil's pop knowledge on ABBA hits.

    We also had our usual games in Guess the Year and Beat Detective, and Phil told us what it takes to put together his Tuesday night show, Makin' Trax.
