A New Direction for Residents’ Requests on HRB

Residents’ Requests, the popular show on Hospital Radio Basingstoke that sees residents of local care homes choose their favourite music has been taking a new direction in recent months with the residents themselves appearing on the show to choose the music and talk.

Presenter Neil Ogden has been visiting residents of Cherry Blossom Manor in Bramley and Bishopswood Court in Tadley in person to record them talking and introducing their favourite songs.  Neil has also been to Magnolia Court in Popley in Basingstoke and recorded a special Coronation edition.

It seems to be a more successful way of producing the show with a more enthusiastic response from those taking part, who all listen in to hear themselves when the show gets broadcast.
