Richard and Janet Bartholomew

Hello From Richard And Janet Bartholomew

Thanks for dropping by our page where we'll tell you a little bit about ourselves as well as our shows.

So, Who Are We?

Well, we're a couple of very ordinary people living on the east coast of Scotland who, for our sins, work during the day (Janet as a proof-reader and Richard as a database administrator) and, by night, turn our attention to internet radio! We both love reading - although find little time for it these days - and are keen armchair sports fans. Family is also important to us and we have a young grandson who we see as much as possible.

Our Shows

When we first started on the station, we only intended to present one show a week but, surprisingly, this has since mushroomed into several as you can see below.

Diluted Scotch - Monday at 3 PM EST

This was our first show and has undergone a few character changes since we began. It runs for two hours each week and is aimed at providing you with some relaxing music and chat at the end of the first, sometimes stressful, working day of the week. All types of music will find their way into the show at some point but we aim to feature a smattering of folk and stage and screen tracks, too.

Down At The Old Bull And Bush - Friday At 5 PM EST

Those of you in the UK may recognise this title as it's synonymous with a night out in your local pub - and, guess what, that's what we'd like to bring to you! As this is a Friday night show, the tempo of the music will definitely be upbeat but, the main feature of the show will be to let you take part in a virtual pub quiz! In each hour of the show, there will be a round of five questions on a specified topic, eg general knowledge, music, etc. You will be given a certain amount of time in which to E-Mail your answers to us and, at the end of the show, we shall announce our virtual pub quiz winner.

Double Top 10 - Sunday At 6 AM EST With Janet

Why not relive those memories of where you were or what you were doing when your favourite song was in the Top 10? Each week, the Top 10 from the UK and US for a given week will be played and, don't forget, you could always suggest a week and year yourself.
