Brand New Show - Cakes & Crisps

Cakes & Crisps is the latest addition to Smoke Radio, the University of Westminster's own station.

The show, which is aired between 1-2pm every Tuesday, comprises of mainly music, entertainment and fiery discussions about any topics of the week.

The three presenters are Faye Lyons-White, Kirstie Nicols and myself, Ffion Rees.

The show is in it's third week and has been going well so far, although we are still experimenting as it is all new to two of us. Faye was actually involved with her student radio at Leeds University and won silver for Female Presenter of the Year.

Other than that I am still in the process of learning. It's hard to know what exactly our audience wants to hear.

With three of us presenting the show each week, we decided that the best entertainment would come with us chatting about our views on the important issues that have been in the news or anything that has affected us young people of Britain.

For example last week, the topics varied from Laura leaving the X-Factor, changing your name for charity and the long term effect that i-pods could have on your hearing.

The great thing is that the three of us are friends from our Broadcasting course but are all very different people.

Faye is very outgoing and straight to the point and she is obsessed with Hollyoaks. Her own blog has been very successful as she writes about every single episode, updating anyone who missed it. She is also interested in current affairs and always has an interesting view on things.

Kirstie is a biker chic and has a blog purely discussing issues that effect riders. She has already discussed her experiences on Cakes and Crisps and I am sure that more will come.

I am interested in political issues and current affairs and tend to have a view on just about anything. Faye is hoping to introduce a 2-minute Welsh lesson once a week on our radio show where I will teach a few funny or crazy words, just for something different.

If you are interested in listening to Cakes and Crisps we will be on air Tuesdays 1-2pm. Go to smokeradio.co.uk for more.
