Season 1: Channel Orange Radio Show - The radio show with better music taste than The Guardian.
Sam Sandor and Maddie Wanklyn pick one album each week, and a guest decides whether or not it's better than the Guardian's album of the week. We talk about each of the albums and listen to the best and most interesting tracks from each.
Season 2: A Clockwork Channel Orange - Fixing incompetently soundtracked movies.
Sam and Maddie pick and recommend one great film with a disappointing soundtrack each week, and match it with an album to be its new soundtrack, listening to the album's highlights.

In the fourteenth and final (ordinary) episode of STAR's Channel Orange radio show on STAR, our guest Finn decides between Pavement's Crooked Rain Crooked Rain, and this week's Guardian pick: Lana Del Rey's Chemtrails Over the Country Club.
With the score at 7-4, the Guardian can't win but they could catch up one last point. We want to end on a high though, listen to see if we succeed.
Channel Orange
Episode thirteen of STAR Radio's Channel Orange radio show sees us talk with Miles about Rejjie Snow's Dear Annie followed by the Guardian's album of the week, the excellent 'Conflict of Interest' by Ghetts.
We're still winning 7-3 against The Guardian as it stands, but with two wins in a row for the guardian, the pressure is rising.
Channel Orange
In episode twelve of STAR'S Channel Orange radio show, George talks with us about Nico's Chelsea Girl and the Guardian's pick: Nick Cave's Carnage. With our oldest recommendation yet, from a Velvet Underground collaborator, and another great pick from the Guardian, another close fight is in store.
The score sits uneasily at 7-2, as the Guardian have the chance to cement their comeback.
Channel Orange
In the eleventh episode of the Channel Orange radio show on STAR, our guest Liv judges between Cosmo Pyke's Just Cosmo, and the Guardian's pick: Arlo Parks' Collapsed in Sunbeams. Both debut releases, and both brilliant, this one will go down to the wire.
The score is 7-1, but with a strong effort like this, the tide could be turning.

The Guardian is now losing 6-1, and we're starting to wonder if they even care about this competition.

In the seventh episode of STAR Radio's Channel Orange radio show, Emily Jones listens with us to Del Water Gap's latest EP; Don't Get Dark, as well as the Guardian's album of the week, a legend's return; 'Letter to You' by Bruce Springsteen.
We stand at 5-1 against The Guardian, but surely if anyone can turn the tide it's Bruce Springsteen?
Channel Orange
In the sixth episode of STAR Radio's Channel Orange radio show, we talk with Iona Ward and Katie Golub about Boy Pablo's (almost) eponymous EP Soy Pablo. The guardian's album of the week is Song Machine by Gorillaz.
Slight technical issues affected this episode. However, these sections have been cut out. Unfortunately, this does mean this episode is shorter than usual.

The score is 2-1 against The Guardian as it stands, and at this point Maddie and Sam have no intention of letting that lead slip.
Channel Orange
In the fourth episode of STAR Radio's Channel Orange radio show, we talk with Lucie Duffy about Canadian 'surf-rock' band Peach Pit's first album; being so normal, followed by the guardian's album of the week, a real curveball; 'The Album' by BLACKPINK.
The score is 1-1 against The Guardian as it stands, but there's still all to play for, with The Guardian's choice of a kpop album perhaps giving us an advantage.
