Oh hi! Tyler and Kurt back with you for another #FeelGoodSaturday on Gateway – and it’s been our busiest week yet!

4 hours to fill with entertainment and local content; and we outdid ourselves with our guest line-up today:

Hour 1 – Dr Emeka Okorocha

Well, sometimes we have to have serious talk on a Saturday; and with hopsitals seeing an increase in admissions of young adults and unvaccinated COVID-19 patients – this week we spoke with Dr Emeka Okorocha:

Hour 2 – Leanne Louise

In the lead-up to our bittersweet Euro 2020 final, the thing we all needed was an alternative feel-good tune to get excited about the football again. Fortunately, Chelmsford-based artist, Leanne Louise, whipped up some different lyrics to go on top of Diddy – Coming Home ft. Skylar Grey.

The track went on to get national airplay and garnered hundreds of thousands of views on social media. If you somehow missed all the hype around it, you can check out the clip below:

Leanne took out some time to chat with us on the show. Have a little listen, below:

Hour 3 – Basildon Pride

With restrictions easing, Basildon Pride are feeling optimistic about going ahead on the 4th of September without any issues. Jake and Dewey from the Basildon Pride team popped into the studio to give us a teaser of what’s to come on the big day, and we even got a little exclusive, too!

And that’s your lot for this week. Many thanks if you were listening along – and if you didn’t – we still love you… and you can listen again right here 😉
