Memories

This page is designed to be nostalgia central, to host quick thoughts and memories of common fresh air experiences. It is one of the easiest ways for members to contribute. Feel free to add your own titles, and if you would refer to be anonymous, then send a direct message to Hitch and he will put it up for you anonymously.

The Festival

I remember...

• 'Making Kate Holland wear a gimp mask, on air, despite masks being her grandest fear.' Hitch
• 'Taking part in a "reading" from the "other side" with just me, Chris Cooke and the psychic who refused to do it on air and so everyone had to leave. So very festival.' Hitch
• 'Getting press tickets to a show that finished the day before.' Hitch
• 'Coming into the studio on day three of broadcast and removing every Beach Boys and Beatles track from the Fringe playlist because their constant airplay was driving me crazy.' Christian

Guests

I remember...

• 'Being sat waiting for Reginard D. Hunter for close to an hour before the man arrived with his posse shouting at anyone who would listen just how much he loved playing Tekken. We then hosted an incredible interview in which we discussed the merits and eytmology of the word "nigger", went to a song and the room was silent with this glow of "yep. we nailed that". Brilliant.' Hitch
• 'Jim Jeffries pouncing on poor Bex's indecision which lead to a twenty minute rant from Jeffries in which he demanded someone her mum ring in and listen as he told her that her daughter was tossing off two men in the studio. Oh how we laughed.' Hitch
• 'The Perrier award winning Brendan Burns being asked by an innocent Kate Holland"So, have you been to Edinburgh before?" ' Hitch
• 'Peter Buckley Hill, founder of PBH's Free Fringe, being asked by Iain whether this was his first visit to the Fringe.' Christian

Songs we played too often

• M83 - Midnight City (2011)
• Florence & the Machine - Shake It Out (2011)
• Wild Beasts - All The Kings Men (2009)

Times I would like to forget

I remember...

• 'Having just been present with Richard Bacon in the Studio recording his show and feeling all great, getting a phonecall from the producers saying "the studio didn't work". Epic Fail' Hitch

Times I would like to relive

I remember...

• 'Fresh Air gave me some of the best moments of my life so far, especially Jay Feeney managing to hit the clock in the studio while popping a champagne cork and CJ throwing an acid techno party in the Fresh Air offices!' Chris Wimpress (from facebook)
