And now on the Frequency Funhouse… Please ensure your seatbacks are upright, your headphones are securely fastened, and your tea is at a safe sipping temperature, because our guest is none other than BBC National treasure Adam Porter.

Yes, Adam... the man who began his career in the humble trenches of local radio, bravely battling dodgy studios, malfunctioning carts, and presenters who thought “dead air” was a genre. And somehow, through sheer talent and possibly witchcraft, went on to read the news on BBC Radio 2 alongside Zoe Ball, sounding calm, authoritative, and absolutely nothing like the rest of us before 9am.

In this episode, Adam takes us on a journey from his early days of “making it up as he went along” to delivering the nation’s headlines with the confidence of a man who definitely ironed his shirt this morning. Expect tales of triumph, terror, and the occasional technical disaster that the BBC would prefer we didn’t mention.

A gloriously funny, sharply polished, BBC‑announcer‑approved adventure from local lad to national legend.

Meet Iain Meadows — the broadcaster who can run a station, scoop up awards, and still crack you up before your caffeine has even kicked in. He’s part storyteller, part Dr Who super‑fan, part radio wizard, and somehow still manages to keep listeners glued to their speakers… despite the occasional career detour involving being politely shown the door.

In this episode, Iain lifts the lid on the highs, lows, and downright bizarre moments of life behind the mic. Expect tales of triumph, time‑travel tangents, and the kind of radio misadventures that prove he’s both brilliant and just a tiny bit unmanageable.

A fast, funny, wonderfully nerdy ride with a man who’s survived the industry, charmed the audience, and only occasionally regenerated into someone HR had to have a word with.

This edition welcomes the endlessly multi‑talented Mark Carter, BBC Radio’s very own Swiss Army knife. Presenter? Check. Editor? Check. Event host? Check. Occasional tamer of rogue microphones? Absolutely. If there’s a job to be done across Sussex and Surrey, Mark has probably done it… while smiling politely and making it sound effortless.

For decades he’s kept listeners entertained, informed, and occasionally wondering how one man can be in so many places at once. And just when you think his CV can’t get any more impressive, we discover he’s legally allowed to carry a sword. A real one. Because of course he is.

Expect stories, surprises, and the kind of BBC‑grade professionalism that somehow survives even the most chaotic moments.

A brilliantly entertaining episode with a man who truly does it all, and has the weaponry to prove it.
