The Alternative Review is Ujima’s number 1 listened to radio show – there’s no evidence for this but it’s a scientific fact! It is also the longest running show on Ujima, a concept invented by Peter Gabriel back in 1977 (originally called Tenko but no-one understood the name). Peter wanted a film review show presented by real people to review the forthcoming release of Star Wars. Unfortunately they couldn’t broadcast the show until Star Wars was released in the UK in 1978.
Dan was only 5 years old when he became the youngest ever presenter on Ujima Radio (which would not actually exist for many years to come). They were accompanied by International Superstar DJ™ Satan Strange who despite his name, at that time was still playing bass for the least liked line up of Barnes-Wallis Simpson (not a patch on the previous Barnes Noyce Simpson Experience ) #1
Since then, The Alternative Review (or alt.rev as the cool kids call it) has broken many barriers of taste and decency and many guests have died live on the air. These include the first 2 DJ Styles, Mrs Divine #2, Lulu, Tommy Popplecock, International Superstar DJ™ Gabriel Normal and DJ Presto (sucked into Myriad). All the team members were murdered live on the air on the 2017 Halloween Special#3 and Michael also died at the end of what was confusingly called series 1 in early 2017 but he turned out to just be in the shower (see below about out-dated references). Despite all the danger, the team bravely review films every week against all the odds, increasing cinema prices and repeated assassination attempts by the current DJ Style (who still hasn’t listened to the 1977 pilot yet). Satan Strange has also survived being shot in the face and a heart attack where the team left him to die. It was only the intervention of Dr J and a Polish cleaner called Helga#4 that saved him.
Presenters are:
Daniel, widely regarded as the most unreasonable presenter on Ujima 98 FM (and that takes some beating), barely disguising his contempt for the film industry, the team and the listener, it’s only a matter of time before he snaps live on air and does the unthinkable. Catchphrase: Unbelievable.

Shades of the Blues is presented by John Banks and is the longest running blues and classic soul show in the West.
John has been presenting in Gloucestershire, Swindon and Bristol for over 20 years.
The show is built on a mix of 90 years of blues tracks from 1929 to date, current blues and blues influenced releases and an abundance of classic soul and R&B.
New releases (including re-releases) make up a large part of the playlist and are featured for several weeks.
John has a deep experience of the music and provides listeners with historical information about the music, insights into the characters and lives of the performers. and anecdotes of interviews with many of these great artists.
Updates of local gigs and UK tours are presented regularly and new books about the blues and soul are featured as they are published.
John has produced a number of shows highlighting the contribution that individual US cities made to the genre and more recently a series of 10 shows have been broadcast that follow the progression of soul music in its golden decade from 1962 to 1971.
John is passionate about the music and encourages listeners to look for the music and to find out more about its rich heritage.
