Wonderful Radio Flanagan

Following the response from Romana's first appearance on WRF last year in the DX Special programme, here is the interview you have all been waiting for. It's taken some time to put together due to working schedules etc but we finally got there. Romana discusses her Spanish heritage background, and has included some of her favourite bits of music as well: Al Andalus  By Shane Ivers. A vibra...

Today’s show is going to be about “My Experience with DXing" – listening to radio stations from around the world. There’ll be little stories about things I’ve heard, mainly on shortwave radio. And we’ll be hearing from some old-time favourite short wave radio stations I recorded way back in 1978. This will be a bit of radio nostalgia for me, and hopefully you'll be informed, educated and...

Moving House! The time has come to pull up roots and hit the high road. Me & Mrs F have lived in our little apartment for over 20yrs. But due to rent increases and ever deteriorating air quality (which has resulted in me developing asthma, sinus problems & other respiratory seasonal issues) it's time to split this crazy scene daddyo. We are heading back to the frozen North! We are currently packin...

How To Unblock A Sink - using bicarbonate of soda and vinegar. We saw  this in a Readers Digest book and thought we'd give it a go! Remember  kids - don't try this at home without supervision! ;O) The basic chemical reaction is "acid +base = salt + water + CO2".  If you try this yourself PLEASE let me know how you get on - maybe even with a video reply of your own? ;) This is my fir...

So it was my birthday yesterday... and today I decided to chop, grill, fry & piece together a most delicious English fried breakfast - complete with Baked Beans! On this episode we have the lovely Mrs F and my brother Dom 👍😀 #englishfriedbreakfast #breakfast #fun #hahaha #news

I was out in the street listening to the birds... and then it started to rain. The End 😁

"A WESTERN CHRISTMAS IN THE OLD DAYS. BY MRS. W. H. CORNING. Christmas week there was no school, but such a succession of dining days, and visiting days, and day parties, and night parties, that Fanny, who looked forward to the week as a season of rest, thought that the regular routine of school duties would be less fatiguing. Christmas at La Belle Prairie was the one jubilee of the year, somethin...

Have you ever seen a really cool cemetery and thought "I'd like to take a long walk through there & have a great exploring adventure!"? Well, I got to go through Grays New Cemetery in Grays, Essex, England. And what a cool place it was. Sit back, relax, and let me take you through this really cool cemetery.

So I thought we'd take a walk down by the river. We haven't done that in a while. And lucky for you I managed to keep on talking for at least 23 minutes. Enjoy! 😂

Are you often accused by your partner of SNORING? Do they say you WAKE THEM UP in the middle of the night? Do you feel condemned with no hope of defence? Well... for once I decided to "question my accuser!" 😁 This 5 minute podcast is just for you! #snoring #snoregate

This is a short podcast I made before, during, and after my first COVID-19 vaccination with the Pfizer vaccine. It was completely painless - hurrah!

When it gets so cold that you have to turn the central heating on... and the random thoughts coming through my head at the same time. (Co-hosted with the lovely Mrs F) (5:10)

I wasn't going to use words like "lockdown" etc to describe what I've been up to over the last few months... so I won't. Anyway - I've been running! And here's a little podcast where I've taken extracted the video I publish on social media, exported it into the imovie app on my iphone, added a music sound track, saved the new video, extracted the audio from the video (using a free app called MyMp3...

Poems from the 1980’s and 1990’s. In this time of self-isolation I thought you’d like a few readings of me dipping into my archives of poems. 27 minutes of ramblings & explanations. Enjoy 😀👍

A review of the year (since Oct 2018 actually) and a look forward to 2020. Contact me at wrf@mail.com - I’ll be waiting to hear from you!

My brother Dominic has a “Racing Event Day” at Brands Hatch Indy circuit in Kent, England. I went along with him to capture the excitement of the day!

San Antonio, Texas - We went for a walk along the famous River Walk - and then the heavens opened!

ASMR - Creaky stairs!

How amusing the rain can be at the start of the day!

Autonomous Sendory Meridian Reaonse - ASMR - here’s a little effort of mine extracted from a video of a walk along Sizewell Beach, Suffolk some time ago.

This is an audio rip of two short You Tube videos I did on a visit to the Roman Baths at Bath a few years back. The tour starts in the underground part of the building where the original Roman streets & pavements were. We then move outside to the main Roman Bath area - where I get to interview a guide called Carol. The tour continues around the main bath area & finally ends up with Carol again. Le...
