They didn’t just make hits, they mass-produced them!

In this episode, we dive into the unstoppable pop machine that was Stock Aitken Waterman. From Kylie Minogue and Rick Astley to Bananarama and Dead or Alive, the Hit Factory churned out banger after banger, dominating the ’80s charts with glittering synths, pounding drum machines, and hooks you still can’t escape!

Were they chart manipulators or pure pop geniuses? We break down the sound, the strategy and the cultural impact of the trio who turned Hi-NRG into a global empire and rewrote the rules of hitmaking.

Turn it up. This is where pop became a production line and a dynasty was born!

DJ Chappers is back in the booth, spinning pure fire on the latest drop of the Urban Jams Hitlist!

Revisit our pantomime from last year…

Once upon a time… things did not go according to the fairy tale.

In this audio pantomime retelling of Cinderella, the glass slipper still fits, the clock still strikes midnight, and the magic is very much alive, but romance takes a wildly unexpected turn. When Cinderella finds herself far more intrigued by the smooth-talking narrator than the rather predictable Prince Charming, the story starts to unravel in the most delightful way.

Meanwhile, Prince Charming discovers that true chemistry might be less about destiny and more about a powerful wand and a fairy with impeccable timing.

With the Fairy Godmother enjoying a little magic of her own, alliances shift, expectations crumble, and happily-ever-after becomes wonderfully complicated.

Packed with witty narration, playful innuendo, audience call-backs, and classic panto chaos, A Twisted Cinderella proves that fairy tales don’t always end the way you expect and sometimes, that’s where the real fun begins.

🎧 Happily ever after… with benefits.
