There’ll be:

All Christmas music, but being The Big Paws it’s not going to be carols and Cliff Richards.
A special Christmas Tiiiiime Tunnel – guess the Christmas Past.
Noel’s Christmas Presents from the top of the BT Tower.
Mince Pies
Christmas messages from the stars
Egg Nog
A Sweary Christmas with Wes Mundell in the Sweary News room.
Carols, presents and crackers.
Playing games, and watching The Great Escape
Emergency chairs
After Eight Mints

*Seriously, please come, but you’ll have to bring your own presents and food (we’ll supply the crackers tho’).

Christmas in August

EDIT: Free iPhone Radio App

bounder — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 10:20:06 +0000

Paul from Rhubarb is over in Le Mans, the lucky fella, and he found a blog post about listening to Radio Le Mans on the iPhone. It finds a new FREE radio app — and it’s one that will play Rhubarb too. Here’s the instuctions, cribbed from there and altered so you listen to brum-based community radio, rather than car driving.

Step 1: Head over to iTunes and grab the free app Fstream (will open iTunes).

Step 2: Open Fstream and tap the star (favorites) at the bottom.
Step 3: Tap Edit at the top/left.
Step 4: Tap Add new webradio
Step 5: Enter this url. (don’t worry about format and bitrate)

[EDIT: The stream URL has changed, you may need to update your player]

http://streams.rhubarbradio.com:8000/listen.pls

Step 6: Tap Save. Tap Done.
Step 7: Tap Play at the bottom (next to the Star)
Step 8: Tap your saved url in the list. It will buffer in and play.
