Hey all,
It’s Ben Kearns here, from Saint FM Breakfast. I’ll be back on from half 7 today, with another Breakfast Show, here on Saint FM.

Today’s show consists of the events guide at 25 past 8 and half 9, so make sure you tune in if you’re around Maldon or Burnham in the next couple of days and want something to do during your free moments.

At a quarter to 9, John Whittingdale (MP for Maldon and Saint’s man in Westminster) will be live on the phone, for his weekly interview with me, focussing on the local, national and international events he’s been involved in over the past week, as well as his plans for the coming few days.

Along with all of this, (as always on a Wednesday and Thursday morning) I’ll be playing our topical tune before the end of the show and I need your suggestions for songs that connect to the following story:

http://web.orange.co.uk/article/quirkies/Swaziland_bans_high_flying_witches

So if you’ve got any ideas, there’s only one thing you need to do-and that’s to share them with me.

The good news is, like always there are several methods of contacting the show, either call us in the Maldon studios based at the Plume School on 01621 928 046, send an email:

studio@saintfm.org.uk

you can also send a text through (to 84555, texts will set you back 25 P plus your standard message rate and you’ll need the word ‘Saint’ and a space before your message), or you can leave your suggestions here on my blog.

You can also choose a song of your own not related to the topical tune-if you’ve got any favourite tracks you want played (from any era), then I’ll do that, as long as I can find them that is. Please wait until the show starts if you want to call, email or text, though you can start leaving your song suggestions/general requests on my blog right now if you like!

Well better go now-I’ll be on in half an hour, so will chat more then.

Hello everyone,
Hope you all had a great weekend/beginning of the week and you’re gonna tune in this morning to me Ben Kearns, between half 7 and 10, with another Breakfast Show, here at Saint FM. On the programme today I’ll have Gordon from Maldon in at about quarter to 8, for his usual weekly segment on the show where he lets you know about what he’s been doing over the last week and what his (fascinating) agenda is for the next 7 days.

I’ll be talking about a selection of local events going on around the next couple of days at 8 25 and again at 9 30, so listen out if you’re wondering what’s happening within the Maldon and Burnham area.

I’ll be doing Dead Or Alive (our studio quiz) after half 8 this morning, feel free to join in and have a laugh where you are…

As well as this, I’ve got a topical tune subject:

http://web.orange.co.uk/article/quirkies/We_have_a_Houston_problem

If you’re a regular listener you know what to do-get in touch with song suggestions connected to this story. The one I like most will be played just before the end of the show, so you’ve got just over 2 and a half hours to get them in to me.

There are 4 ways to do it-either call me at the Plume School in Maldon (on 01621 928 046), email:

studio@saintfm.org.uk

you can send a text into me (the number is 84555). Texts will of course cost you 25 P, plus your standard network charge and you need the word ‘Saint’ and a space before the rest of your message. You can also leave any suggestion on my blog, from now on (don’t phone, email or text though, until I start at half 7).

As always I’d love to hear your general requests too-if you’ve got any that is (I’ll play anything). The same contact details will apply.

Well, the show gets going in half an hour, so I’ll talk then!

Hello people,

Ben here from Breakfast (half 7 till 10 on Wednesday Thursday and Friday), letting you know I’ll be on Saint FM as usual this morning.

I will be going through our events guide at 25 past 8 and half 9, giving you an idea of what there is to do in Maldon and Burnham over the next 2 days.

As its Thursday morning, I’ll be talking to John Whittingdale (local MP for Maldon and Saint FM’s man at Westminster), around 8 45.

I’ll also have my usual Topical Tune feature just before the end of today’s programme. This is the story I’ll be covering today-as always, I need your song contributions:

http://web.orange.co.uk/article/quirkies/UN_chief_tweets_photo_with_fake_Bono

Have a read and let me know if there are any ideas that crop up in your head. You can give me a ring at the Plume School studios in Maldon, on 01621 928 046, you can email them to me:

studio@saintfm.org.uk

Feel free to send me a text, to 84555, though your text will cost 25 pence plus your normal charge and you’ll need to type the word ‘Saint’ then a space before anything else, the final port of call is to simply leave your suggestions right here, on my blog! The good thing about the last way of letting me know your suggestions is you can do it from now on, otherwise you’ll have to wait until half 7.

Just one more thing-it’s always good to have your general requests too-if you have any, let me know what they are! You can use the same contact details to tell me what songs you’d like… if you’ve got any that is.

Well that’s all for now-until half 7, speak then!
