Frank Turner creates his Full Circle! What has been his favourite moment in life so far? And Which Band Can He Not Stand?! 14 Jul 202500:40:49

Frank Turner is the special guest on this week's Full Circle! He is an incredible musician who has released 10 albums under his own name, and has also topped the UK Album Charts! He is one of the hardest working musicians being on tour more often than not, with over 3000 solo shows and counting including a world record 15 shows in 15 cities in 24 hours. He is also an ambassador for CALM (campaign against living miserably). 

We spoke about:

- How touring has been this year and his upcoming shows both solo and the returning Million Dead who are doing a full UK tour in December 2024; he also explains why it is a must to buy tickets for any Million Dead fans for the upcoming tour!

Buy tickets for Million Dead shows: https://www.ticketweb.uk/search?q=million+dead

- He answered some tough Would You Rather questions, including if he'd played the same venue forever with a different setlist every time, or different venues forever with the same setlist every time!

- He also played Which Frank said this? A game where he had to figure out if he, Frank Turner, said a particular quote in a previous interview or if it was his friend, fellow musician, and current touring singer for Sex Pistols (and also someone others have confused him with), Frank Carter!

- And of course, Frank makes his Full Circle, ranging from Million Dead to Descendents!

The Full Circle Returns as a Podcast!05 May 202500:31:09

The Full Circle is back as a podcast! It's a show where songs are linked together: The first song has a link to the second song and so on, and the last song has a link to the first song, hence completing the Full Circle! There is also general chat and features in between the linking of the songs.

It first started as a university radio show in 2010, and then as a Facebook Live video show in 2016, with the last show being in 2020. It is hosted by DC.

As the show is now a podcast, songs cannot be played for copyright reasons. Instead, a playlist is created of the songs forming the Full Circle! Here's the playlist for this episode: 

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6LFb6ZoflLfjrDLPLzvj42?si=B_xj0EKARSioaLQJy7g4Zg

I'll eventually make playlists of the songs on other streaming platforms in due course.

This episode also features: a brief introduction for new and returning listeners (including my job - something I have never revealed in the past on the airwaves!), some "Would You Rather?" questions, and the legendary feature of "Abid's Words of Wisdom" - where Abid Mushtaq, a dentist, and great friend, provides some words of wisdom for the Full Circle nation. He can also sort out your teeth (wisdom or otherwise) if needed too; words of wisdom can be included if asked free of charge.

Hope you enjoy the show in its podcast form and feel free to comment or ask for the patented (not actually patented) "Boom-Boom-Boom" shoutouts! Thank you for the support!

Link to songs here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2E5hxDCLXUniOBB84H1Yzl?si=KB-HU1oiTBO6x5BaIM0OeA

- We reflect on our time working together as NHS doctors at the James Paget Hospital in Great Yarmouth, and Andi shares his story about returning to Hong Kong, working in family medicine, and the challenges faced during the COVID-19 pandemic.

- We played Would You Rather - did Andi choose being the funniest over the most intelligent person in the room?

- Could Buzzfeed guess Andi's age based on his food choices, all of which were from Hong Kong! This brought back some great memories from Andi's childhood.

Ocean Grove's Dale Tanner Creates His Full Circle, Plays "Odd, But Not Oddworld", Would You Rather & Talks Mental Health!06 Oct 202501:16:57

Dale Tanner is the incredible frontman of the Aussie band Ocean Grove, who released their incredible 4th album Oddworld, marking a shift back to their Nu Metal roots and are coming to the EU & UK in October & November 2025 for some epic live shows with Thornhill! 

You can buy tickets here: https://oceangrove.tv/ 

They begin in Germany on Oct 17th and tour all around Mainland Europe, before arriving to the UK on Nov 4th and finishing in London on Nov 9th!

It was an absolute honour to have Dale on the show; I have loved Ocean Grove for many years now, they make amazing music and are incredible live, so please do get tickets if you are able to, because you will not regret it!

Playlist for Dale's Full Circle songs: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6zUkhkTGKYZgOoO6bqbwm0?si=YKvEtCHTR0mYHJy5D_5ogQ

Songs ranged from Ocean Grove to Limp Bizkit!

On the show:

Dale shared a fun fact never shared elsewhere! He answered some tough Would You Rather questions; including whether he's a Vegemite (Aussie Marmite equivalent) lover of hater, he shared some of his Favourites, played a fun quiz called "Odd, but not Oddworld"; it's probably best to just hear it rather than me trying to explain it haha, but it allowed us to reflect on all of Ocean Grove's albums, and he spoke very candidly about this mental health, including his own experiences and how he has organised an Aussie Music Festival called Fully AMTD which has just announced its 3rd installment, focussing on mental health support in Australia!

Tickets for this are available here: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/fully-amtd-2025-tickets-1727381718219

Thank you to Dale for being such an incredible guest on the show, and thanks to each and every one of you for the ongoing support!

The "Post-Nights" Full Circle, Would You Rather, & The Return of the Food Challenge!29 Sep 202500:35:19

What was I thinking? I thought it would be an incredible idea to do a show straight after I finish a set of night shifts. 100% would not recommend (doing a show this way of course! 100% recommend listening obvs).

On the show:

I answer some tough Would You Rather questions, choosing which bands I would prefer to see live - I think the hardest one was between Bring Me The Horizon or Enter Shikari!

The return of the food challenge! Was I able to break the world record of most marshmellows caught by mouth in one minute?

I also answer some basic medical questions - was my knowledge compromised after finishing a night shift, or was it A-OK? 

You can test your basic medical knowledge here: https://www.buzzfeed.com/audreyworboys/medical-trivia-quiz - comment how well you did!

And of course, The Full Circle, with songs chosen that are a little more chill in keeping with finishing nights, ranging from Ed Sheeran to Panic! At The Disco!
