In this episode we reflect on the 25th birthday of the University Of Bedfordshire's community radio station, Radio LaB 97.1FM.
In May 2022 we were celebrating. Our beloved radio station, Radio LaB, marked 25 years since it’s first incarnation as Luton FM in May 1997. Back then, the station was live for just 28 days at a time – on a Restricted Service Licence, or RSL.
Two students, who have now just graduated, led on Radio LaB’s 25 year celebrations, by hosting a 25 hour marathon programme. Each hour featured music and alumni voices from a different year, starting with 1997 going on to the present day. It was a lot of work for Nathan Randle and Toby Crabb - but they did a great job. So great, with so much quality material, we thought we’d use some of the interviews they conducted with successful Radio LaB alumni for a Fantastic Noise episode.

Voxpops. The voice of the people. The person on the street interview. It’s about getting the opinions of ordinary people on the street on a given issue – to present a sample of public opinion at any given time or place. It’s also something we teach in year one at the University of Bedfordshire – because it can lead to fantastic content. Terry spoke with BBC Three Counties Radio's Justin Dealey - who is known at his station as somewhat of a voxpopper extraordinaire.

Sports fan-run podcasts are increasingly popular, every major sports team will have at least one in their honour. The specific and personal nature of podcasting is allowing this particular genre to grow and thrive. Terry spoke with FYP's Jim Daly to find out more about the origins and business of publishing a football fan podcast.
