The Zero Airwaves, “The Deano Show” & Mitchell Reclamation

The Zero Airwaves derives from a series of cassette recordings Stash made on regular occasions from the age of 6 onwards, a kind of make believe home-made radio station where he’d interview all kinds of people, and if all kinds of people weren’t available he’d interview himself!

Now for the first time The Mix Up Show & The Zero Airwaves take to the air, via this website, with the aim being to profile people of interest from Norfolk and beyond. The famous, the infamous, and the outrageous!

The Deano show

Stash has a real passion for interviewing and story-telling, and he kicks off with two feature length audio documentaries. The first is an hour and a half “on location” interview profiling “Deano” one of Norfolk’s genuine, unique and original personalities.

When Deano recently went on national radio station Talk Sport for a five minute chat, he ended up chatting for over an hour. He was invited on again on a number of occasions afterwards, with feedback coming from all over the country and as far away as Australia! Calls for him to be Prime Minister, to have his own radio show and comparisons to Russell Brand were made again and again.

Mitchell Reclamation

The second is Mitchell Reclamation Ltd, a 45 minute profile of its legendary owner Michael Mitchell, who has been at the helm of this Norfolk business for decades.  The interviews were captured by Stash on the last day of Trading at Oak Street in 2018, just before the company’s move to Anson Road. This evocative journey is set around Mitchell’s timber yard, with contributions from family, staff and customers, all set to a soundscape by Rebecca Chapman, featuring some of Michael’s favourite songs. An instant classic to be enjoyed and shared by anyone who loves Norfolk life. 

Tune in now to hear Stash and Deano “In Conversation” at his caravan home on the Norfolk Coast. The Interview begins with Stash and guest Councillor Howard Jago arriving at the location.
