Wireless programmes December 2013 to February 2014

Kia ora and greetings, Listeners,
The Himalaya readings have finished alot earlier than expected because of the poor quality of some of the tapes meant they couldn't be played. I had anticipated this running until about Easter, but so be it. Most of the taped series I have are someone else's castoffs so I always play them with my fingers crossed hoping the quality is ok. Sometimes the content will catch me out too, I hope I don't cause offence to too many listeners. I check them out to a certain extent, but I certainly don't play each tape through in its entirety prior to putting it on air.
The 13 part series of Educating Archie was a disappointment to as one episode on the Mp3 disc was not EE but TIFH (Take It From Here{which we'd already heard from another source}) and 2 other episodes were duplicated. 
The archival information from the period 1939 to 1945 comes from DVDs that are indexed on their cover, but not on the disc and often there is great difficulty in locating a specific item in the disc without playing the durn thing right through - the audio section of the disc being at the end of a 3 hour programme of video.
If you wish to contact me, the email address is trevorofhampden@gmail.com.
Ka kite.

Update on what's being updated

Greetings,
It's come time again to compile a list for the future, well, up until the end of November anyway.

Firstly though, an explanation:::: The book "Himalaya", read by Michael Palin, comes on 10 cassettes, each 2 sided, and each side is an average of 35 minutes long. So these are being played in about 15 minute segments after the 9 pm news, meaning there'll be 4 episodes per casstte - 40 episodes in all. BUT Tape No 1 could not be played. It was completely pakaru, so I've started on Tape No 2. This reduces the story to 36 episodes. Therefore this epic will take us up to mid-March.

One thing I've put down so far for September/October/November is Peter Brough and Archie Andrews in "Educating Archie". This was a mid-60s BBC comedy series that introduced us to Julie Andrews, Harry Secombe, Petula Clark, Max Bygraves and others. Each episode is the full half hour. I hope it's just as much fun second time around as it was the first. I have only 13 episodes, any more seem to be impossible to come by. I'll play it in the "Younger Ears" slot at 5.30.

Did you catch that episode of "Much Binding In The Marsh"? There'll be more of them to come sooner or later. Stay tuned. 

Any suggestions, I can be contacted at trevorofhampden at gmail. com

The story "Ring of Bright Water" is on 2 cassette tapes, each side having about half an hour of story on.
The first time I heard this,  it was in 8 by 15 minute episodes, and that's what I expected with this set of tapes. However, each side is being played right through, so instead of 8 episodes, we will hear the entire story with only 4 episodes.
This leaves 4 nights in the conceived programme 'til the end of May with no story scheduled.
So into this slot I'll play "Cider With Rosie", an dramatised autobiographical tale by Laurie Lee.
This too, will be heard in 4 by half hour episodes.
I hope you enjoy it.
That's after the news at 9pm each Tuesday.

I'm starting to sort out material for the next couple of months. Any ideas? - email them to the radio station, ohr@xtra.co.nz

This blog entry below goes up to the end of May. Happy Listening!
There will be a bit of confusion perhaps because I am unsure of exactly how many episodes of "A Mouse and His Child" there are. I am assuming there are 16. We'll find out in due course. Also, the reading of "Sons and Lovers" was originally to last for 4 evenings, and it is now being spread over 8.
A precis of this schedule appears at the end of the entry.

Apologies for not being able to play the 4 episodes of The Man Who Listens To Horses.
I found out just as I was loading this tape into the Studio tape player that the tape was either worn out or had been subjected to a strong magnetic field at some time. The signal obtained from it was not up to an adequate standard to broadcast. Later I also discovered the tape had been repaired at sometime, and the repair job was not up to standard either. I hope you enjoyed the spur of the moment fill-in - The Glums.

The current programme guide on this site is not complete yet for the whole of February.

+Note that this tape is of substandard quality at the very beginning of it. It comes ok as it gets going.

And of course, every Tuesday evening at 6.30 I dive into the archives in the basement and pull out something that even if it's not of interest to you personally, is unique, strange, has some historical value or is rare.
