#445 - 11th Birthday Nonsense (1st Nov 2026)

11 years. Madness. As if we’re still doing this thing after all that time. Honestly, we thought we’d have run out of things to play and stuff to talk about. Well Radio Fa

#444 - "Hang around, it might get better" (25th Oct 2026)

There was a chance that we couldn’t get into the studio for this show but the radio gods were smiling. 1st show for a while in GMT so you’d think we’d be fresh and ready

#443 - A (slightly) Different Format (18th Oct 2026)

This might be the longest we’ve been since doing a theme show. 2 months since we did a small rekkids show. And those don’t really count as a theme show in our opinion. So

#442 - Show in a Hurry (11th Oct 2026)

This show was made in a hurry. Can’t remember if we mention that on the air or not. It was put together in about half an hour with about another 15 minutes of tinkering t

#441 - Belated Relevancy (4th Oct 2026)

Alright folks? It’s a Tuesday. Bake Off is on the telly so this is the perfect time to upload a new show. We managed to get into the studio after the shenanigans last wee

#440 - Square and Interesting (20th Sept 2026)

You know when this show would have been good to listen to? Yesterday. When it was unseasonably sunny in Sheffield. As it goes, it’s grey and a bit drizzly today. But as w

The Secret Handshake with Louise T | LWSTD-FM

Evenin’ all. We didn’t do a show last night but we couldn’t leave you without something to tide you over until we’re next on the airwaves. We’ve pinched a show that we l

#439 - "Okay, let's try that again, but this time good" (6th Sept 2026)

This was a new experience for us. Which is impressive as we’re 439 shows into this nonsense. We attempted to do this show a couple of weeks ago but studio gremlins got in

#438 - "Should song titles in full caps be shouted?" (16th August 2026)

Feels weird uploading this while it’s light. Usually this is more of a nocturnal activity. Much like the show. Sometimes we wonder “should we be more uniform with our upl

#437 Small Records Vol 11. - Steve Spins Small Things (9th August 2026)

Step right up for show number four hundred and thirty seven. Another 7 inch special! Steve did this one on his own as he didn’t want to leave you without a show to soundt

#436 - It Doesn't Pay To Try (2nd August 2026)

Another week, another show where one/both presenters complain(s) about being tired. You’d think by now they’d know how to be fully rested for the show. This show is a de

#435 - It's All About Steve (19th July 2026)

We all know the show is a vanity project but this week it’s gone next level… it’s all about STEVE! He played records from his birthday. Some from his party, some he got a

#434 - "Up in one! Up in one!" (12th July 2026)

We’re off to a gig tonight so there isn’t a witty, long, descriptive blurb for Sunday’s show. The main points are: Studio was hotTunes were mainly oldA smattering of new

#433 - Let's go to town to see what we can find (28th June 2026)

Back in the old studio, for possibly the last time? We’re not sure. Will it matter to you lot? Probably not. All you want is 2 hours of quality radio which you’ve got (ev

#432 - Standard format - 1 bed = this show (14th June 2026)

Evenin’ all. Or good mornin’. Depending on when you read this. Or if you read it at all. This week’s show had some beats, some guitars, some music from Jamaica and a fair

#431 - Blood & Fire (31st May 2026)

Sunday’s show was a doozy. Hour one was the standard stuff but hour two is where it really gets going. We did a tribute (of sorts) to Steve Barrow, who sadly passed recen

#430 - "Mostly Bob” (24th May 2026)

It’s night time in The Big City. Rain isn’t falling as it’s an unseasonal heatwave. A late night radio show host writes a hackneyed blurb for an upload… Sunday’s show is

#429 "Mostly archival” (17th May 2026)

The weeks, they roll ‘round quickly. It seems only yesterday that we were playing animal records yet here we are again… doing an upload and trying to work out how to make

#428 She said, “Where ya been?” I said, “No place special” (10th May 2026)

The best thing about this show is for the first time in 3 weeks we haven’t had to think about animal songs. It’s a standard show with the usual stuff. Gig reviews, stuff

#427 Small Records Vol 10. - Dancing Animals (5th May 2026)

Well, this is possibly our most ambitious theme show ever! Three themes in one. Dancing, animals and dancing animals. We've just counted up and annoyingly, it's 44 songs.
