The lucky goat
Scott heard the story of a goat believed to bring luck.
The animal had become associated with a run of positive events, leading the programme to examine whether listeners had objects, rituals or animals they credited with changing their fortunes.
The story produced the kind of unusual listener-led conversation that had already become central to the afternoon show.
The Birthday Game: Rhiannon
Rhiannon from Haverfordwest was preparing to fly to Barcelona for her first holiday without the children since the early 2000s.
She was born on 11 November 1983 and shared her birthday with Leonardo DiCaprio, whose age she correctly guessed as 48.
Her dog could be heard during the call, prompting Scott to hope it would calm down before the spinner began.
Rhiannon faced three number ones from 11 November and had to choose the song that would accompany the start of her birthday trip.
The Wonder Years
Friday’s programme returned to The Wonder Years, continuing the revived feature’s journey through major songs from successive years.
Listeners again sent memories attached to records they had not heard on daytime radio for years.
Handover
Scott wished Rhiannon a good trip and handed over after completing the second week of the afternoon show.
