| #440 - Square and Interesting (20th Sept 2026) | 23 Sep 2026 | 02:00:24 | |
You know when this show would have been good to listen to? Yesterday. When it was unseasonably sunny in Sheffield. As it goes, it’s grey and a bit drizzly today. But as we say, we like to play music for almost any occasion. Once again, no theme this week. There is one long song, and that’s not at the end so you can’t (easily) avoid it. We’re in the market for more long songs. If you know any good ones around the 20 minute mark, hit us up. As always, if you feel like it please get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix inquiries! https://www.instagram.com/radionighttrain/ https://bsky.app/profile/thenighttrain.co.uk Don’t forget, we’re also available for family functions, weddings, funerals, boat launches and more.

Evenin’ all. We didn’t do a show last night but we couldn’t leave you without something to tide you over until we’re next on the airwaves. We’ve pinched a show that we love and that we think you’ll love as well. It’s by friend of the show Louise T and it’s a great monthly show on LWSTD.fm. This was the show that went out on Saturday. It's a doozy, so we wanted you to hear it. https://www.mixcloud.com/loutoal/ Don’t forget… get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix inquiries! https://www.instagram.com/radionighttrain/ https://bsky.app/profile/thenighttrain.co.uk Don’t forget, we’re also available for family functions, weddings, funerals, boat launches and more.

| #439 - "Okay, let's try that again, but this time good" (6th Sept 2026) | 09 Sep 2026 | 02:05:32 | |
This was a new experience for us. Which is impressive as we’re 439 shows into this nonsense. We attempted to do this show a couple of weeks ago but studio gremlins got in the way. So instead of putting it down to a bad job, we’ve regrouped and had another go at it. Is it as good as the 1st time around? Nobody will ever know apart from us. Why has it taken ‘tlll Wednesday morning for an upload? Same answer.

| #438 - "Should song titles in full caps be shouted?" (16th August 2026) | 19 Aug 2026 | 01:59:20 | |
Feels weird uploading this while it’s light. Usually this is more of a nocturnal activity. Much like the show. Sometimes we wonder “should we be more uniform with our uploads?”. It’s not going to happen. Well, it could but truth be told… we’re not sure we’d like that stress. Anyway, here’s the show. Enjoy.

Step right up for show number four hundred and thirty seven. Another 7 inch special! Steve did this one on his own as he didn’t want to leave you without a show to soundtrack the next batch of hot weather that’s in the post. It’s 4 sets. A garage rock-ish one. A British beat-ish one. A psychedelic-ish one. And one that’s sorta about heartbreak Hopefully see you next week, but if we don’t, remember to get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix inquiries! https://www.instagram.com/radionighttrain/ https://bsky.app/profile/thenighttrain.co.uk Don’t forget, we’re also available for family functions, weddings, funerals, boat launches and more.

We all know the show is a vanity project but this week it’s gone next level… it’s all about STEVE! He played records from his birthday. Some from his party, some he got as presents and some he purchased with birthday mon No show next week due to Tramplines.

Sunday’s show was a doozy. Hour one was the standard stuff but hour two is where it really gets going. We did a tribute (of sorts) to Steve Barrow, who sadly passed recently by playing an hour of stuff we heard on his Blood & Fire record label. No live show from us this weekend as we’re out on Saturday night. Tune in the following week for tales of Steve’s birthday bash.

It’s night time in The Big City. Rain isn’t falling as it’s an unseasonal heatwave. A late night radio show host writes a hackneyed blurb for an upload… Sunday’s show is here at long last.. where we celebrated Bob Dylan’s 85th birthday by playing songs that he wrote, performed by other people. One day soon we’ll do a show without any type of theme. Tune in on Sunday to see if it happens next time.

The weeks, they roll ‘round quickly. It seems only yesterday that we were playing animal records yet here we are again… doing an upload and trying to work out how to make it sound enticing enough to listen to. Thankfully, a lot of you are in too deep now so you don’t want to stop listening. And we appreciate that. It’s a standard show this week, old cuts and hot chat. What you’ve come to know and love. Big Big Holiday Weekend show next week. Tune in live to see what we do!

| #428 She said, “Where ya been?” I said, “No place special” (10th May 2026) | 13 May 2026 | 02:09:34 | |
The best thing about this show is for the first time in 3 weeks we haven’t had to think about animal songs. It’s a standard show with the usual stuff.

So, it’s an animals on wax special. Songs with animals in the title or band name. I know how to party. It’s rough and ready, not fixed anything and if you listened live, you got a bonus 3 songs. I was going to edit them in but I thought “you should have been there”. Shout out to Phillie B for giving me the idea of a theme within a theme.

Listeners that have been with us a while, will either be rejoicing or lamenting this upload. It’s the return of the 100% strange music show! It’s been a minute since we’ve done one of these, which is a travesty (in some people’s eyes). So here it is, 120ish minutes of weird music for you to enjoy/endure. No show from us tomorrow (19th April) due to legitimate reasons. We’ll hopefully be back next week with another great show.

| #424 with Freakbeat Brónagh's Guest Mix (5th April 2026) | 06 Apr 2026 | 02:02:18 | |
Alright party people! A Monday upload that we’ve been putting off all day as it’s been sunny. It was a solo show from Steve, but that’s not the important bit. The important bit is there’s AN AMAZING GUEST MIX THAT YOU NEED IN YOUR EARS. Freakbeat Brónagh’s Land of Make Believe Mix is one for the ages. Don’t panic, we’re going to upload it clean in the week so you don’t have to endure Steve’s dulcet tones and dull chat. Back next week for a standard show. It’s #425 so we could do a weird one. We might, the jury’s out.

Just a quick hello to say, here’s the show. It’s got both of us in the studio which isn’t going to happen again for at least a week. If things go according to plan, Steve will be flying solo on Sunday. It is the Easter Bank Holiday weekend though so if you haven’t got work, do tune in and say hi! This show may or may not work on Mick’s Cloud. There’s a song by DJ Shadow that’s technically 6 songs, so it might get flagged for copyright. If that’s the case, sorry!

Parts of this show were made in a hurry. If we didn’t tell you that, we’re not sure you’d know as the bits we made are pretty good. The bit of the show that’s really good is the killer guest mix from Rockin’ Rachel at Haunted Jukebox. We’ve linked her profile on Mick’s Cloud below. You should check out her show. It’s mint. No live show next weekend due to reasons. We’ll try and get something out for the live crew to enjoy.

| #420 "all the right songs..." (1st Mar 2026) | 01 Mar 2026 | 02:04:41 | |
If it’s a choice between no show and a ropey show, most listeners would probably like a ropey show. That’s what this one is. Not the bits on the mic, those are as stellar as always. The music is also good. It’s the ordering of it, we’re a bit rusty so it doesn’t quite flow as well as it has in the past. Perhaps we’re over-thinking it (very likely). Anyway, here’s the show. Early morning upload for the fiends that want to listen on Monday morning.

With this show it’s best to just focus on the music. Please ignore us butchering the Portuguese language when trying to pronounce artists and song titles. We did our best. As it’s Carnival Season (and the big day tomorrow), we promised some people a Brasil special.

How’s everybody’s Wednesday going? We’d like to think that with this show dropping in your feed, the day has got considerably better. Truth be told, this could have been uploaded on Sunday night but we were being lazy. Please forgive us. The show. It’s a small record special so we packed some 45s in the bags and headed to the studio. For a show with very little planning, it’s actually turned out pretty damn good! There might be a show on Sunday. It all depends on if Steve fancies going into the studio on his own.

Mornin' everyone. No new show last night. We both had a busy weekend (DJing, Channel One Soundsystem, late night Kebabish, a pub crawl and a birthday) so decided to take the week off. So we didn't leave you with nothing, we've delved into the "archives" for a "classic" show from 2016. It's the Christmas special. Two hours of festive songs without us talkin' over them so you can play this to friends, loved ones and even colleagues! We should be back next week with part 1 of "reason's why we're skint".

This is mad. 10 years. Honestly, did any of you think we’d make it THIS far? Did anyone think we’d still be this shambolic? Should we have had one show in 10 years with no self-inflicted problems? For this show we picked songs from 1991 to celebrate the show’s birthday. Shout-out to everyone that sent us suggestions. We really appreciate it!

Show 409. A nice blend of new and old music. And some new music that sounds like old music. There’s some reissue stuff and 4 songs featuring slide guitars. Apologies if this blurb isn’t great, it’s a race against time to get this edited and uploaded and shared before it’s Monday. Back next week for the 10th birthday.

| #408 with Pete Evans' Jazz 45s Mix (26th Oct 2025) | 30 Oct 2025 | 01:59:19 | |
It must be being a regular listener. Sometimes the show’s up on a Monday morning ready to soundtrack you taking on another working week. Other times, it’s a Thursday evening and there’s still no sign of an upload. Anyway, here is Sunday’s show. It’s a doozy. Mainly as it’s got a smokin’ hot excerpt from Pete “Spinning Jazz” Evans’ set at the Sheffield Live! fundraiser a few weeks ago. Wrapped around that heat is the usual gubbins/bobbins from the two of us.

Strike when the iron’s hot. Or as we like to say, upload the show on Sunday night when you can’t sleep. There’s a lot of benefits to doing it now and not procrastinating on it for a few days. The biggest one is that the Listen Again Crew that are up to date with the backlog won’t be badgering us over WhatsApp or in the street to do the upload. So, here it is. Steve said it was a struggle to make, we don’t think that comes across on the airwaves. We do enjoy doing the show, we promise!

It must be the end of the summer as we’re both in the studio! For the first time in a while. Press play to find out why we’ve been doing solo shows (SPOILER ALERT… it’s not that interesting). To make sure we didn’t make any massive mistakes, it’s a standard show. Some dance-y stuff to begin with. A discomix in the middle and then a slow reduction in BPMs to finish the show. There probably won’t be a (live) show on Sunday but we’ll try and dig something out to upload next week.

| #401 The '94 Special (24th Aug 2025) | 25 Aug 2025 | 02:00:39 | |
Evening. Steve here. Originally, I had planned to do a weirdo show for #401. Two hours of challenging music. Then I realised it was a Bank Holiday Weekend which is when we tend to have a few more live listeners. Felt a bit mean to hit ‘em with 120mins of music that some would call “unlistenable”. Instead, inspired by a post on Bsky by a pal who declared it to be a 1994 weekend, I thought “I’ll just take some records into the studio from that year and see what happens. This show is what happened.

So this is show #400 and what better way to celebrate the occasion than with a show that doesn’t have either of the hosts on it. A benefit of this is we can upload it in heavyweight 320Kbps. We should say, if you’re not a fan of reggae, best sit this one out.

| #399 A Couple o' Long Songs (10th Aug 2025) | 13 Aug 2025 | 02:02:01 | |
Finally! Back in the studio to deliver 2 hours of “fantastic” radio. The summer is always tricky as we’re away more often than we’re on the air. Not that you lot would know, as you’re The Listen Again Crew. We like you though, as you sometimes message us nice things about the show a few weeks after broadcast. Which is nice. This week’s show is a little different. Steve had an existential crisis while making it, so he’s mixed it up. A bit. It’s not massively different.

DO NOT ADJUST YOUR PODCAST SET! There wasn’t a show yesterday. We don’t like leaving you with nothing so we thought we’d take this week to hip you to a Bsky pal, Sean, who’s got a show on Love Will Save The Day FM. Sean’s monthly show is called Suspended in Air, which is very good. This isn’t one of those shows though. It’s a one-off he did for Easter. Same as this week, potentially back next week with a show. If there isn’t, we’ll upload something for you folks to keep you going until we return.

Howdy folks. Finally, a normal show! Yes, we’re aware that we’re the ones that keep choosing daft themes. Please look past that. Also, is a show without a theme actually a theme? Who knows? So, the show. You know it’s a gem when there’s extensive homework notes to include for the Listen Again Crew. Honestly though, this stuff is great. You should check it out.

| #397 Small Records Vol. 7 - Global Sounds on 45s (13th Jul 2025) | 14 Jul 2025 | 01:58:35 | |
OK. We forgot that this week was going to be 45s show. But, we had already done some prep to make it less painful! The plan for this show was “2 hours of songs from places that aren’t The UK or The USA”. That’s not a very catchy name so we’ve gone for “Global Sounds on 45s” which we can all agree is a MUCH better name. We were both going to be playing records but in the end, Steve made Paul do all the work on the decks while he did show admin. You’ll probably agree that this worked out well. Hopefully we will be back next week with a normal show.

Apologies this is so late. It’s been a busy week! Anyway, less of the excuses and back to the music. Here it is, the much promised Chicken Special! 2hrs of chicken and chicken-related music. Possibly the daftest theme show we’ve done in a while. For such a specific subject-matter it’s actually pretty varied. Back on Sunday with what we hope will be a standard show.

| #395 "What a G-double-O-D vibration" - A Tribute To Sly Stone (22nd June 2025) | 25 Jun 2025 | 01:59:18 | |
Howdy folks. Here’s our tribute to Sly Stone, who passed away a couple of weeks ago. It’s a bit late but that’s due to reasons that are lost to the midsts of time/are too boring to bring up. We’ve picked some of the hits and some of the (many) songs that sampled him over the years. It’s made with love, despite how ramshackle and under-researched links are. We say in the show, if you wanna know more about the man, you should checkout Questlove’s doc, Sly Lives!
