This week on The End Of The Week, Stuart and Rachael battled soaring temperatures, survived another Friday in the studio, and officially kicked off the weekend with plenty of laughs, great music, and some very special guests.
The show started with heatwave chaos as Stuart compared himself to a human disco ball while listeners shared their best ways to stay cool during the hottest spell of the year. The duo also looked back at last week’s unexpected fire alarm drama, which famously interrupted the show and nearly turned a Myles Smith song into an accidental Dolly Parton remix.
A highlight of the afternoon was welcoming Stuart’s daughter Lucy into the studio to celebrate her 12th birthday. Lucy brought plenty of birthday energy, gave her honest opinions on studio life, and even enjoyed her own “five minutes of fame” as she shared stories about secondary school, half-term adventures and life as a Year 7 student.
Elsewhere, Stuart and Rachael chatted about Soccer Aid, Robbie Williams’ halftime performance, local events including the Grafton Regis Summer Fete and Classic Car Show, and the upcoming Stony Live Festival, which promises a packed week of music and entertainment across Stony Stratford.
The show’s popular Birthday of the Week feature returned, complete with a special birthday song chosen by Lucy, while listeners also enjoyed plenty of 80s classics, a misheard lyrics moment, and a nostalgic trip through the decade of MTV, Pac-Man and Live Aid.
As the afternoon rolled on, conversation turned to weekend plans, BBQs, cocktails, food festivals and even surfing, paddleboarding and seaside adventures. Naturally, Stuart rounded things off by declaring he was heading off for a margarita as the show signed off for another week.
With great music, local events, birthday celebrations, heatwave banter and plenty of laughs, it was another feel-good Friday afternoon on Stony Radio.
