1:17:34 – Continuing the experiment of random Onsug listening! This time I’m starting a new project called The Rampler Trip, continuing from Onsug Radio Shuffle Mode. It’s the same idea as the previous concept – playing 22 random 3.5 minute clips from The Onsug Archive – but this time, they are all clips of me talking, in monologue. I wanted to explore a more tonally consistent set of random segments… let me know what you think! –Frank

34:14 – Back in the world of After Hours, can Dan guess who the real celebrity sinner is in ‘It’s a Sin!’? We get a preview of the new, non-woke, ‘Doctor Who’, while The-Man-in-the-Pub ponders the existence of an entirely unknown (to the public) regeneration of The Doctor. ‘Consumer Eye’, meanwhile, investigates a dodgy ‘On the Day’ hearse hire app, with explosive consequences, while the ‘Downey Bit Spaceman’, who terrorised the female inhabitants of a small village, is exposed, before we go behind the scenes at a tabloid newspaper.

‘After Hours’ was created using Google AI Studio, Chat GPT Reader and FreeTTS.  Sound effects by Freesound Community via Pixababy.  Music: ‘Spin the Wheel’ and ‘Cold House Files’ by Cosmiczebra via Suno.
