Semester 1, Week 1

So it was my first day back in the One Media Radio studios yesterday and it was so much fun!
Over the summer I was trying to think of something new to add to my show. I felt quite pressured to spark up an interesting idea after being awarded Best Female Presenter which I was totally chuffed at!

After a few brainstorms I came up with an idea.
I was especially excited yesterday as I introduced the new feature "Around The Globe."



My university, (Staffs) is filled with people from all over the world so I thought why not take advantage of this and learn more about where people come from?
I was joined by my partner in crime, Abigail Malbon to learn more about Stoke - at the heart and soul of our uni!



Here's what I found out:
N: So Abz how long have you been living in Stoke?
A: All my life, born and bred.
N: And what is Stoke most known for?
A: Potteries! and Royal Doulton, my mum used to work there actually.
N: What about foods? Apart from the burger van in Hanley and Brunchies!
A: Oatcakes! If you're a fresher and haven't tried oatcakes, you have to! Cheese and bacon mmmm.
N: Yeah you have to try them, they are so yum! Before I came to Stoke, I knew Robbie Williams was born and grew up in Stoke, are there any other Stokies in the limelight?
A: Actually yeah, Jade who has just won Britain and Ireland's Next Top Model. She went to my school and was in the year above me.
N: Ah, you'll have to congratulate her for me then!
A: Well she kinda lives in London now...
N: Okay i'll congratulate her then! haha, so any other interesting facts we should know about Stoke?
A: This is good for One Media Radio actually because, did you know Stokies love to listen to the radio. BBC Radio Stoke is the most listened radio station, amongst BBC stations!
N: Well thats good for us then! haha!




It was great getting to know more about Stoke and where I now live.

DID YOU KNOW?
Oatcakes were actually supposed to be chapatti's. When Stokies in the British Raj came back from India they tried baking chappatti's but didn't have the correct ingredients - and then the OATCAKE was formed!

BIG WELL DONE to Victoria Bland for winning a pair of Gobble tickets.
She guessed the correct Disney song, it was....Under The Sea - Little Mermaid.

JOIN ME NEXT WEEK for more free Gobble tickets and my special guest, Liam from Scotland!
