Come in, sit down and tune in to the pilot episode of a brand new radio broadcasting concept - Christine doing an awful lot of talking! Oh wait, that's been going on for years. In reality, the Radio Christine concept popped into my head this year, and I've been waiting and waiting for the right time to get it out of my system. That time is now, and you are more than welcome, nay actively encouraged, to join in the fun and games as we see how this radio thing is (or isn't) done.






Excited!
I'm confused. Is there going to be a live stream button for me to click so I can hear?
panic!
I am ready, but I don't know for what!?
When it goes live, I'll shout in the comments to refresh and the buttons should all appear for you.
Love the 'radioactive' name.
Me either!
Are we going to have a fancy dance party? I love fancy dance parties. lol
We've arrived at panic statiooooon!
...sorry
Just to check I have got this right. Christine is going to propose F1 gets rid of petrol engines and replace them with nuclear power? Where else could RadioActive come from?
Less hybrid, more fusion!
I would love to hear myself try and explain that.
I'm expecting for Christine to rename all of the #F1 teams after Marvel super-heroes.
Don't let me down, k?
(should really be fission)
I'm looking forward to it. Could be even better than Alex explaining suspension on the phone in on sidepodradio
Gone fission
Whilst my laptop is updating, enjoy my dual commenting system

Good idea - time for a restart before things get going.
Hello.
Mr Burns' boat.
Well Mr Burns had done it, the Power Plant had won it, w...
wait, wrong episode
Wassup Sidepodders.
Hey Mark
Ley Lukeh.
I'm watching Robot Wars before Radio Active. I'm a massive child.
What a show! Can't beat ol' Sir Killalot
Yeah, you were talking softball...
We're talking Homer, Ozzy and the Straw!
Can#t believe Robot Wars didn't become a huge annual TV program
Awooga
I always liked Sergeant Bash.
Dead Metal was my favourite.
Wasn't that Gladiators?
I'm also preparing for Radio Christine by listening to Muse's new album for approximately the 72nd time.
Spoilers: I like it a lot
So, ... this means we don't need to have another discussion about Neil Morrissey in his 'comedy'.
Craig Charles stole it
Shocking!
Thank god. BBC Comedy can be so hit and miss
Off topic racing note, The Twitterz are saying Randy Bernard has been fired. Waiting for confirmation..
In positive news, I just had some very nice sausages which were cheap at work because they go out of date on Monday.
sounds like a successful Friday :)
I've just had a phone interview (at 7!!)
I hadn't even heard any rumours about that until now
Randy Bernard is the CEO of Indycar, isn't he? He fits in with the rule that the people who run American sports have awesome names.
Wow, talk about late. How do you think it went?
I'm sure we'd rather sell them at full price rather than a quid but obviously I had to test the product to make sure it was alright.
Tell me about it. I was rather tired after my swim, I'd not read the website for 2 weeks, but I've got a face-to-face on Weds, so in a word: well. :)
I saw it mentioned on Monday but disregarded it as ridiculous. Might be connected to the return of
the undeadTony George who is trying to buy the series again.Yep. On both counts. :) :)
Yay! Well done!
Crikey.
Nice one.
Cheers guys :)
Surely they are not going to be daft enough to give Tony George anything other than his bus fair home
I'd prefer some concrete shoes for him...
I don't think they'll sell to him. The sellers are the ones who fired him in the first place.
Being a Friday, is anyone on a wine or beer strategy for this show?
No beer in. Wine was finished yesterday. Switching to gins.
Strawberry and Mango tea.
Negative, because I'm still at work (only 1:49pm here)
I just had a Dr Pepper and couldn't make up my mind what to do next.
Does anyone know if Joe's doing an Aside with Joe in Austin? I haven't been paying enough attention I'm afraid...
Sounds nice.
Ah ouch.
It's OK. 80% of the office isn't here because it's snowed the past 2 nights and they're all probably out skiing.
Does that mean SPC 'Feet Up Friday' is a lunch time event?!
I've seen no announcements and he'd probably be promoting it by now.. but you never know. You could always go to Buxton's karaoke night... hah. #worstnightmare
Sounds like life over there is pretty cool then.
That's what prompted the question, actually. Unfortunately that's on Monday night and I'm leaving as soon as I can get my butt out of the track after the race.
From @jennafryer: Umm, I just talked to Randy Bernard, who says nobody has told him he's fired.
We are having a rogue buzzing issue. Bear with us.
The kit doesn't seems to like that one of the studio squeaks has disappeared.
A MASSIVE night of INCREDIBLE, HUGE talk and other CAPS
Heh. Good that someone asked. Seems the Indianapolis Business Journal is becoming less credible by the week. They keep putting out this stuff.
Wasp? bee?
Old school sidepodcast :)
Mr C.'s plastic covered pizza.
BEADS?!
Hi FBFB
Feel the buzz for the premier of Radio Active F1
It really is because Christine has ditched her chair and gone back to a ball.
Does the buzzing sound, sound like a ball leaking just before Leo disappears behind his desk?
There's an FBFB for this show too, but it won't be all singin' all dancin' - testing out talking and typing at the same time :)
Recreating the gentle bzzzz of an off tune analogue radio. What attention to detail.
Your radio show is FULL OF BEES
You're a technological Jake
You are going to present a show and run the FBFB at the same time? There is such a thing as showing off you know
Thank god my phone didn't auto correct that into an insult
I am going to attempt that. If we actually get started :)
Live player should be there if you want to refresh and play!
Is this just so you can both read the comments, rather than concentrate on F1? ;)
I have sound and no buzzing
Phew!
In fairness, there aren't any decent races left except Brazil.
Clear as you like :)
No buzzing here.
Sounds great
Christine is very clear. No buzzing
Hello!
Who is this 'Christine' I'm hearing about?
No idea. Sounds like some kind of egomaniac plastering her name everywhere
RadioActive - does that mean it all starts brilliantly, then tails off progressively with it's own half life? ;)
she's of the internet apparently
You mean the best bit is over already?
That what the theory (behind the name) suggests.
I think the name for it is hooging it
hogging
I prefer hooging. It sounds cooler.
I like Mr C being a one man audience
It looks Dutch to me
5.125km sidepodcast.com/p…-race-information
Was Mr C doing a car impression there?
Can't they take giant fans?
Newey would just love it.
Fresh out of the box?
Lucky thing, given a drive and a massive slide too!
You guys need to do a wacky morning show:)
This seems very similar to a situation at Suzuka a few years ago when a ballast weight injured a driver so that he had to rest all weekend
They might've said 'only drive for 2 hours a day'
Oh by the way my Autosport sub ran out a couple of weeks ago and I've already been warned I've only got 10 free views left this month.
Esteban has been doing GP2 so he has been at loads of races
Maybe he's worried about the change in time, I know I don't want to miss F1
McLaren the man died 45 years ago
McLaren have carried on for years.
This weekend I've missed / am missing FP123 & Quali :(
this is my first live audio event, I've just realised
Mr C may have control of the live-text, but is that providing he uses capital letters?
That pre-recorded bit was a lot quieter
Mr C is confused by crosswords.
*nods agreedingly*
Any time I have made up crosswords I have tried to make them symmetrical. Some times they have rotational symmetry
Ooh ta for the plug. I forgot what I wrote in that.
Winfield Williams?
What about Imola?
Interlagos original was a clockwise track until it was modified and shortened
Yeah Imola and Sao Paulo were the only ones for years I think.
Badger are also running a competition to win Bernie

Damn that Dr Dre!
Ferrari do do headphones for non-pitwall purposes: www.selfridges.co…7MCFU3HtAodHScABw
Broken news?
Mr C entered a whole new octave
Mr C needs F1Minute-by-minute shownotes.
Only part of it was run in the reverse direction. OOPS
Smooooooth. You guys should work for Smooth FM. I bet you prefer your peanut butter smoooth.
In fairness, it does go this way and that. The old track would have been a mega-long lap.
That is quiet
7 shows :)
Factbyte Factboxer
That's good!
It's called RESPECT, Steven. Respect for SAFETY.
GOD
Christine has nicked my safety column
Temporarily borrowed it.
Has this been franchised for broadcast from Steven?
I think it is Christine's version of a subtle hint that I owe her a column or 2
Do I do subtle?
Ahha - subtle
Points for Christine
Tomorrow???
They have fans and ventilation things for paintball goggles.
And heated fans in snowboard goggles
QUIZ!!
Fans are a bit unnecessary at 3 figure speeds
Nothing like a semi-enthusiatic 'yay' followed by a pre-recorded sarcastic applause! :)
All of the answers are Mika Salo.
I'm taking the money!
No Deal, Noel.
No, Deal, Noel
Magners Magnerson!
Is the answer to number 4 no-one?
Oh...
I thought it was magners as well
Magnus* Lukeh! Magners is a cider!
Magnus Magnsson is dead. He did Mastermind for many years
tasty dude.
Oh thats awkward
You should do what Danny Wallace does on his breakfast show.
"That's not good news! That's... GREAT NEWS!"
A team as strong as iron.
The prancing horse should be a cat
Feline
Because they're Ferrari :)
Mr C has a segment. Christine has the rest of the orange
Wait, Mr C hates everything!
"mr c reviews mr c"
someone needs to buy mr c an xbox so he can review F1 2012 :D
I'd invite him over, but I've heard they live on The Moon
Rockall isn't on the moon, silly Stuart!
it's not available for android.
...change in order... what order?!
Rockall?? Ohhhh I heard "All Rock"
Beer order?
THEY MENTIONED ME!! *SWOON!* ;)
RaceStars?
I demand a dressing room
She's making her own sound effects! she's got a gavin!
Since I graded myself, I got them all right!
Who were the seven engine manufacturers?
I got two, but I missed the first two questions and had no idea about the last
en.wikipedia.org/…ason#Constructors (although I've not read it)
Ferrari, Honda, Toyota, Renault, Mercedes...
Umm.
Lada
BMW and Cosworth. I forgot Toyota.
How is Lada's season going?
They're about to finish Melbourne
I agreed with taking points off Kimi. That video was just weird
Yeah I didn't get that video
Lewis and Tony Stewart have done a few videos
The video was odd, unique.. It ended with him being made to walk to Monte Carlo. Though to be honest I'd have taken off points for it just being a clothing line with a made up racing logo on it.
is India a BBC weekend?
Nyet.
Red Bull are running the last available 2011 alternators this week so after Sunday they have to go back to the dodgy new ones
6 overtaking moves last year, BUT it was the middle of the Massa-Hamilton smashfest series
It'd be awesome if their engines blew up in front of me in Austin.
They need to do something to offset the terrible grip and dirt on the track, hopefully 2 DRSs is it.
www.autosport.com…ort.php/id/103710
I had no idea they had gone back to 2011 alternators until I saw that Autosport story that they had run out
The interesting thing here is the race between Alonso and whichever of the two McLarens is closest.
Vettel will also win the UEFA Cup and the Nobel Prize this weekend
#everything
It's snowing in York!!!
It's not time yet!
The UEFA Cup doesn't exist anymore. It's the Europa League. #Pedantry
Holidays are coming, holidays are coming, h...
wait, what am I saying?!
Thank you for another excellent show.
Goodnight.
Night, y'all I'm gonna clean up the house for viewings and get a hot chocolate! :)
It was bitterly cold here earlier but the sky is clear. York on the other hand https://twitter.c…61935545486307328
What song is this?
*dies*
That was awesome :)
Beatrice Ericsson - Through the Night
Loads to tweak, but that was fun.
honest feedback. would you (ever) listen again?
Thanks guys. Tell you the truth I wasn't expecting an F1 show. :)
Good pilot. Bits of it were like the old shows, and lots of fun new stuff too.
Also I have this odd thing in Dashboard where I can only edit/navigate the text box with the keyboard, can't click somewhere with the mouse.
of course!!!
In my dreams, I would be a music DJ but... people don't tend to like my music :)
I know one New Zealander who'd love it :)
I want to hear another one before I have a proper opinion. I have always liked the interaction between you so making it more a one person show I am not sure about.
I am sure people would listen to one music DJ show just to see how good you were
no licence though. giggles paid loads to play music :(
Remembering, of course, that it's not a replacement for FUF or similar shows. It's just another addition to the roster.
Giggles Radio featuring Mrs Christine?
I'll listen again, either live or recorded.
heh. he may or may not have had one of them children things that consume all your free time. #badgiggles
Same I think. I wasn't really taking notes..
I think the features idea was good but the talking was a bit fast so it didn't really go in, but that's a problem I know I have so it is likely me not you. Or it might be because its the end of a week.
Quiz is good but I missed whether I was supposed to do anything, then while I was scrambling to open Notepad to note my answers I missed the first 2 questions. Now I know there'll be one I can be ready.
oog, they should be fbfb'd.
Mini series was always told off for being too fast, so that's a bit of a problem using old stuff. Although I did the Vettel thing new so that's no excuse. 'Cept I did scrabble it together this evening. Definitely can work on that, anyways.
Vettel thing was better I think, didn't feel as fast.
D'oh!
The pre-records were very quiet compared to the live stuff. I noticed you turned up the volume on the second one.
You seemed busy enough :)
in response to your comments. need to work on equalising those somehow.
That is something that is always going to be difficult to get right though. They were not so quiet that they could not be understood but for anyone in an environment with a lot of background noise they could be a problem
Why can I not find a link to any audio? I always fail at this...
It finished 45 minutes ago
replay coming soon.
next time, we may need to ask y'all to remember possible titles for us.
#brainfade
This really is old style sidepodcast
Is this show going to evolve/devolve into the Debrief?
Just bringing back the good bits :)
you mean, just bring back the easy bits?
Link to the replay is in this thread, and also has show notes of its own. You can't escape it really. sidepodcast.com/p…o-active-f1-pilot
