Eagle Radio in Surrey and Hampshire launched new jingles by local composer and former station intern Ollie Melville-Smith. In the Earshot podcast Ollie discusses the art of jingle composition with Steve Martin, explains how the Tonmeister course at the University of Surrey gave him a musical grounding and we hear from breakfast presenter Peter Gordon immediately after he played Ollie's work on air for the first time. All that, and of course we play the jingles written by Ollie with Wise Buddah jingles for Eagle Radio.
