    #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 to rock with that extra hour of sleep. Tune in to find out how we did! Sunday’s show is a Birthday Special. If you get the chance, be good to have a few folks tune in so we’re not broadcasting to nobody. At the very least, tell someone you think might like the show. https://www.instagram.com/radionighttrain/ https://bsky.app/profile/thenighttrain.co.uk Don’t forget, we’re also available for family functions, weddings, funerals, boat launches and more.

    #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, here’s another somewhat standard show for your listening consideration. Hoping to be back again in the studio on Sunday but there’s a chance that we might be too tired after a busy busy weekend.

    #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 to iron out the (big) mistakes. We think it turned out pretty good. Enjoy!

    #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 we say, we like to play music for almost any occasion. Once again, no theme this week. There is one long song, and that’s not at the end so you can’t (easily) avoid it. We’re in the market for more long songs. If you know any good ones around the 20 minute mark, hit us up.

    #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 the way. So instead of putting it down to a bad job, we’ve regrouped and had another go at it. Is it as good as the 1st time around? Nobody will ever know apart from us. Why has it taken ‘tlll Wednesday morning for an upload? Same answer.

    #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 uploads?”. It’s not going to happen. Well, it could but truth be told… we’re not sure we’d like that stress. Anyway, here’s the show. Enjoy.
