Neil Gits Cloned

5th March 2023

It’s rather unusual (and probably against Gateway’s rules !) to “promote” a show that goes out on another radio station, but I had some very interesting and quite unexpected news last week. My son Nathan is currently studying “Film & Creative Writing” at university in Colchester and has, amongst his many other varied interests on campus, just started hosting a twice weekly show on the Students Union online radio station – not only that but it is called “The Retro Show” and he plays exclusively 70s 80s & 90s chart hits ! I anticipated a little crossover with my own media activities given the nature of his chosen course, but I didn’t expect him to suddenly start following in his father’s footsteps quite so closely …

Not only that but he does both shows LIVE whereas my one show a week simply gets repeated on Saturdays, so he has actually trumped me … especially I have also just heard this morning that next week he will be adding a sports chat show to his CV too ! Luckily, none of his broadcasts clash with mine, so he will still be able to tune in to his Old Git Dad on Mondays between 7 & 9pm or on Saturdays between 5 & 9pm to hear some great old soul, jazz-funk & disco tunes that he might want to ‘nick’ and pick up a few handy broadcasting tips … lol !

Meanwhile, if you have somehow carelessly missed both my efforts on Gateway this week, head for “Listen Again” and search “Cool Soul” to catch up ASAP over the next 28 days. Here’s what I played this time around :
