The 'Gospel of Good Vibes' has just landed...
Big John, Liesl and James back with another "Fridays"!
This week:
Finally, the truth comes out… What really went on at Hallam FM?
- All the stuff we weren’t allowed to talk about at the time.
Facing South Yorkshire’s big questions, like “What does it feel like to be cancelled?’, ‘What do you actually do now?’, ‘Are you bringing Hallam FM back?’ and loads more.
We also reflect on a quarter of a century of memories, waking up South Yorkshire with laughter, chaos, and love and how life looks now we’re doing things their own way.
“We used to do the show for the radio station, but now we’re doing it just for you!”

The 'Gospel of Good Vibes' has just landed with a Halloween Special...
Big John, Liesl and James back with another "Fridays"!
This week:
Liesl’s finally been sussed out — and gets called-out right in front of her own kids.
James is the first to say what everyone’s thinking - The one thing we’ve all been avoiding.
Once again I just can’t man up. I’m my own worst enemy. I can’t get out of my own way. I’ve failed… again. And it’s a “back door problem”
It's all part of the build up to the Official Friday Song!

Big John, Liesl and James back with another "Fridays"!
This week on The 'Gospel of Good Vibes':
Finally, all three of us have something in common. I wonder if you have the same thing going on too? Let us know. (It’s the REAL reason why there was no Bonus podcast this week)
There has been a school robbery! But is Liesl really to blame this time?Test yourself and see what you would have done in her situation.
And James is late to the party, again. He’s discovered there is something missing from his brain. Check to see if you are the same as him!
There’s also breaking news on 'Hallamster'. The Friday Song. Your messages. And part of the show gets hijacked!

The 'Gospel of Good Vibes' has just landed...
Big John, Liesl and James back with another "Fridays"!
This week:
You should never ask someone a question that you’re not prepared to answer yourself. James has done this, and is now cornered.
Think you’re good at getting a refund? Wait till you hear what Liesl’s trying to return—it’s unbelievable!
Big John wants to talk away your guilt. Guilt we all feel for something we all have done. And it will ultimately make you feel happier!
Big news about James’s bid to becoming a popstar!
And what’s the plan for the talking hamster?!
Forget clocks — in South Yorkshire, time only turns to ‘weekend’ when the Friday Song plays. It’s the law (kind of)
