| - | I started listening to the snug by accident. I'd been listening to live 365 radio stations for probably a couple years and then this summer, i was browsing the stations looking for something specific (I can't recall what) and The Snug came up as a choice. so I start clicking around, went to the website, then listened to one of the archives and loved it. The rest you know...I emailed them for fun when I was having a stuffing craving.<br>

| - | Me and Maf go waaaaaaaay back. Well, to around 2003, anyway. I met Maf in July 2003 when I joined up with a local paranormal investigation group (North Wales Paranormal Research, now disbanded). As for Lee, I met him during one of the karaoke nights in Prestatyn while out on a NWPR pis.. *ahem* beer drinking session. Anyway, Maf said he was starting up a radio show, so we all listened in. So that's my story, in a nutshell.

| - | <br>Well I did a search on live365 for talk radio from the UK and The Snug popped up. I went and had a listen and also noticed they were giving away a book called Random Acts of Kindness, all you had to do was send an e-mail. So I did. The next live show I listened and chatted to Maf and Lee using Yahoo (I had no idea how to use chatrooms at that time) It was really cool to be noticed by radio gods! I eventually found my way to the (old) chatroom and was welcomed warmly. I've been here ever since. There was a time when my frankin-computer wouldn't let me listen (man did I try every week), now that I have a rockin' laptop I don't have problems listening anymore. The Snug is my social life, a way for me to take some time out in the week to chat, listen and laugh my guts sore. I got my book by the way, I think it was their way to lull listeners into a sense of security. You think 'Random Acts of Kindness' they must be really nice fellas, and they are at first, and then the work piles on. 'Blog this', 'write me a complaint letter', 'add photos', 'tell us you loves us'... Hee hee hee, It's great fun guys! T

The Snug is a radio station broadcasting from North Wales since 2004. The hosts are Maf and Lee, both white males in their mid thirties. The show format includes rare and unusual musical selections from all over the globe, as well as a live talk-radio format every Thursday, which includes live and taped karaoke as well as lively discussions between the hosts and any live chat room participants.
The Snug broadcasts from the back room of a sleazy nightclub owned by a badly accented Italian-American Family known as the Fettucinis. They used to be regularly raided by the Welsh branch of the FBI until the Family went legit. They now use The Snug to cover any nefarious operations.
In 2004, Maf was listening to a Live365 station called The Lounge. Bob and Rob (the hosts) have a lot to answer for because listening to them encouraged Maf to have a go himself. One new account with Live 365 later and The Snug was born. Maf and Lee are broadcast their first show in May 2004 and have rarely missed a live Thursday night show. (Maf now even books holidays from a Friday morning to a Thursday morning so as not to miss a show.)
