It’s official – Radio Newark will be getting digital from 7am tomorrow, Monday 14 November, when the new DAB service launches on Breakfast with Matt and Vicky.

Which means you’ll be able to listen to all your favourite shows – including Girls Around Town, of course – not only in and around Newark but across the whole of Lincolnshire too!

June, Tina and Sue (and all their lovely guests) will be live on FM and on DAB from 10am to 12 noon every Sunday from 20 November. So spread the word – tell your families, friends and colleagues – and don’t forget to hit the ‘Scan’ button on your DAB radio tomorrow morning.

Oh and by the way, you can still listen online if you’re even further afield…

50 shades of Graham

the battle of the sexes

As a showbiz journalist for more than 30 years, he did around 4,000 interviews with countless stars of stage and screen. But this weekend the shoe is on the other foot for Graham Keal, when he’ll be the one answering the questions instead of asking them…

Graham joins the Girls Around Town in the studio to share a few of the highlights from his encounters with a veritable A to Z of celebrities.  Why was Sir David Attenborough making eyes at him? What made Jimmy Tarbuck such a pain? And just why did Oprah touch his elbow?

Now a popular speaker at WI meetings, ladies luncheon clubs and other gatherings across the UK, Graham recently launched his latest talk. Admittedly it’s ‘a bit more risqué’ than his others but 50 Shades of Graham is nothing to frighten the easily shocked, he says.

“I’d already amassed a lot of material on how so much of the humour to be found on the web revolves around the battle of the sexes. Now I’ve just adapted that material, adding some musings and observations on what has made both the Fifty Shades books and the film so huge, despite all the critical brickbats flung at them.”

Tune in or listen online between 10am and 12 noon on Sunday when Graham gives June, Tina and Sue the inside track on some of the ‘men are from Mars, women are from Venus’ moments that kept the ladies of Norwell WI entertained earlier this month…

If you’re interested in good food, you’ll want to hear what this week’s guest has to say…

Tune in or listen online to the Girls Around Town between 10am and 12 noon on Sunday, when Alison Lowe joins June, Tina and Sue to talk about Nottinghamshire Flavours, the quarterly magazine celebrating everything foodie across the county.

From restaurant reviews and event news to the stories behind some of the many local producers in the area, it’s packed with information and ideas to give you all the inspiration you need to make the most of what’s on offer in Nottinghamshire.

Alison will be sharing some of the highlights of the Autumn/Winter 2016/17 issue, together with details of how you can get hold of a copy locally or even have it delivered direct to your door – perfect timing with festive entertaining and eating out just around the corner!
