Broadcasting live from what felt like a human air fryer, the duo kicked off Friday afternoon melting in real time, discussing deodorant failures, sweaty offices, garden work setups and whether Stuart’s bald head could be classed as a solar panel.</p><p><br></p><p>The show quickly turned into the ultimate summer soundtrack, packed with sunshine anthems, Eurovision nostalgia and listeners’ favourite summer bangers. Stuart and Rachael chatted about weekends in Stony Stratford, Eurovision classics like Waterloo and Making Your Mind Up, and why some Christmas songs should absolutely never be turned into summer songs.</p><p><br></p><p>There was plenty of classic Friday randomness too — including BBQ hacks, disastrous BBQ stories, whether peaches belong on the grill, sweaty London trips, Uber boats with bars, holiday memories from Spain and Egypt, and a passionate debate about songs that sound suspiciously like other songs.</p><p><br></p><p>Listeners got involved throughout the afternoon with song requests, birthday shoutouts and heatwave survival stories, while Stuart once again proved he can somehow make every topic descend into complete nonsense within minutes.</p><p><br></p><p>The show wrapped up with tropical party vibes, reminders to catch the podcast and updated playlists, plus more teasing about what’s coming next on The End Of The Week.</p><p><br></p><p>If you missed it live, you can listen back in full and catch all the best bits — minus the sweat patches.</p><p><br></p><p>Listen back to the full radio show including the feel good tunes here - https://www.mixcloud.com/stonyradiouk/playlists/end-of-the-week-show/</p><p><br></p><p>Listen to all the songs from EVERY show on our Spotify playlist here - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6KgE6ony2pk3THxguGVArz?si=cf3ceaf7b1e9462d</p><p><br></p><p>Facebook - www.facebook.com/stuartandrachael</p><p>Instagram - www.instagram.com/stuartandrachael</p><p>Website - theendof.co.uk</p>","author_name":"The End Of The Week"}
