The Rider: Driest Roast

Neil Atkinson, Stephanie Heneghan and Adam Melia are without John in the flesh this week but his spirit remains strong. It is his gig of the week in Rome. Talk of Roller Derby, Dave Chappelle, half marathons and, inevitably, Moel Famau dominate the wham. The songs are...

The Rider: A Dab Hand

The Rider is a full house. Neil Atkinson hosts as John Gibbons, Stephanie Heneghan and Adam Melia play ten great songs and talk all sorts of wham about the Top 40 being in real trouble, going to Devon and small plates. As ever, the songs, the songs…...

The Rider: Lincolnshire

No Stephanie Heneghan this week. A massive blow but Neil Atkinson, John Gibbons and Adam Melia soldier on regardless with lots of big talk about Lincolnshire and listing places and that. All the AAA content Steph would no doubt love. There is also prep for the 2011...

The Rider: Posh Teas

This week The Rider gets stuck into tasting menus, something host Neil Atkinson experienced for the first time over the weekend just gone. They also chat about inappropriate choice of bangers, The Good Fight and so much more. Adam Melia, Stephanie Heneghan and John...

The Rider: A Full House

Everyone is in! Imagine the scenes. Neil Atkinson hosts John Gibbons, Stephanie Heneghan and Adam Melia as they get back to basics. There is all the news of Australia from Adam (they are alright, you know) more on Beyonce and Gaga obviously and news of birthdays and...

The Rider: Restart

The Rider has all the chaos you get used to this week. And still no Adam. Has he left? has he been sacked? Thankfully we have the HR department in. Elsewhere Neil Atkinson, John Gibbons and Stephanie Heneghan work through the week’s issues, much of which are...

The Rider: Wham!

The songs are all bangers this week. All killer. No filler. Except the wham. Which gets talked up. As does aborted stargazing, Chinese Supermarkets, The Doomsday Clock (now out of date). Neil Atkinson hosts with John Gibbons and Stephanie Heneghan all do the business....

The Rider: Swanning Off

No Adam Melia again. He’s Swanning off around the globe. Gets slaughtered in his absence obviously. He and you would be disappointed otherwise. So there are nine tunes and nine helpings of wham. What tunes. What wham. It shows no sign of abating. Atkinson,...
