theaardvark live, 9pm UK, from a secret studio in Burntwood (my front room). Same score as always: a pile of tunes I've barely listened to, and we'll get through as many as we can.

Come and keep me company: https://live.theaardvark.co.uk

Cartoon aardvark in a claret fedora with white and lilac headphones perched on top, round tinted glasses and a dark claret top, shrugging with both palms up and grinning. Beside him on grey and claret blocks: theaardvark LIVE, EVERY SUNDAY @ 9PM, https://live.theaardvark.co.uk.

What fun! Destroy a website using guns, grenades and all manner of exotic weapons.

Like worms, but the enemy is the web page you hate.

Why not start with theaardvark.co.uk ?

theaardvark.co.uk/destroy-this...

screen grab: A pixel-art character in an orange and blue outfit, wielding a weapon that emits fiery, pixelated debris, aggressively smashing into a slanted, teal-green banner. The banner bears the text 'theaardvark', 'Autistic. ADHD. Easily distracted, deeply interested.', and 'This is where I put things when my brain won't shut up about them.' Below, faintly visible, are tags: 'Food Reviews', 'Shallow AF Reviews', 'Pickled Onions', 'Music', 'Bits & Pieces'. The background blends a cream-coloured sidebar with purple-hued, pixelated shadows. The overall scene is chaotic, energetic, and deliberately destructive, evoking a sense of playful, digital vandalism.

Tuesday, 3 to 4pm on Lichfield Radio. I still don't know what I'm playing. That's not coyness, it's just how this show works. An hour of music picked for no better reason than I fancied it. Come and find out with me.

theaardvark live, 9pm UK, camera off this week. I've got work on, so it's a playlist I've picked rather than a full live mix, but I'll still be chatting along. Just slightly less than usual.

Come and keep me company: https://live.theaardvark.co.uk

Cartoon aardvark DJ in round sunglasses and a dark trilby, headphones round his neck, grinning and pointing skyward over neon pink decks. theaardvark live, 9pm tonight, https://live.theaardvark.co.uk. Tonight he's pointing at a playlist, but he'll still have plenty to say.

Promotional poster. Photo of me, Paul, sitting forward with my hands clasped and a stern, straight-to-camera stare, the face of a man who takes floor-fillers very seriously. I'm wearing chunky lilac glasses instead of my usual black ones, a pale pink Lichfield Radio t-shirt and jeans. A disco ball sits at my feet, bottom left. Behind me is a blurred wall of rainbow-coloured light blocks, red and blue on the left and green and yellow on the right, zooming towards the centre. Across my chest, in distressed 1980s-style lettering striped yellow, pink, purple and blue, is "FULL SPECTRUM", with a yellow box beneath reading "THE AARDVARK'S FRIDAY DANCE SHOW". Below that: "FRIDAYS 8-9PM". A burgundy band reads "+ LICHFIELD RADIO, Let's Accentuate the Positive". The bottom grey panel shows Spike, the Lichfield Radio flame mascot, next to "LichfieldRadio.org" and "Spreading Positive Vibes across Lichfield, Burntwood & Surrounding Villages".

Live in 15 minutes. theaardvark's radio show on Lichfield Radio & Echo. 60 minutes of whatever music crossed my path, that I quite liked. The newest-of-new music show that will introduce you to your next favourite tune.

lichfieldradio.org

photo: theaaardvark, bald with a long, vivid purple beard, wearing headphones and glasses, stands at the Lichfield Radio studio desk just before his show, looking directly at the camera with a calm, focused expression. Behind him, a bright red neon sign of Spike — the flame-shaped mascot with spiky hair and a plus sign — glows against the claret wall. The desk is cluttered with broadcasting gear, including a mixing console with glowing buttons, two laptops (one open to WhatsApp), and a digital clock reading “2:28:01” and “29.9.2025”. Framed music posters adorn the wall — including “THE KING” in bold red letters, “I ♥ Wing Wah,” and others — along with a small white shelf holding tiny figurines and a sheep-shaped object. The overall vibe is a blend of professional radio tech and personal, colourful passion, lit warmly by the studio’s ambient glow.

No plan again this week. No theme, no running order, nothing I would defend in front of a committee. Just an hour of whatever I fancy, Tuesday 3-4pm on Lichfield Radio. It holds together somehow. Come and find out.

theaardvark live: 9pm UK. No plan. No setlist. A pile of tunes I've barely listened to, played live until either I run out or the two hours do.
Come and waste a tiny fraction of your Sunday evening with me: https://live.theaardvark.co.uk

Cartoon aardvark DJ in sunglasses and a bucket hat, one fist raised, hands on a pair of neon pink turntables. theaardvark live, 9pm tonight, https://live.theaardvark.co.uk. He's more confident about tonight's mix than I am.

@theaardvark.bsky.social Sep 26, 2026, 10:10 AM

Thank you. Trying a self hosted scheduler so I can write my show promotions in batches and set them to post during the week

Testing, testing, testing.

Tuesday, 3 to 4pm, Lichfield Radio. No playlist, no theme, no running order I'd defend in front of a committee. I turn up, press the buttons, and an hour of music happens. Invent your own theme as you listen.
