Bounce FM

Mark Chapman

Bounce FM is a podcast that started during the first lockdown in 2020 with the power of music to bring us together and generally keep us sane during isolation! We’re still going strong and long may it continue! The beauty of a podcast is that you can listen to it anytime anywhere, a new episode is released every Friday but will remain available for the forseable.

    The DJ Chappers Show

    The DJ Chappers Show is back with your weekly hit of feel good vibes and top tier tunes! We kick things off with a spin in the Bounce FM Time Machine, a mystery year, hand-picked at random. The only question is… can you figure out which year we’ve landed in before the big reveal? Dust off your music knowledge and play along! Then it’s time for Stranded Songs, where this week’s special guest, Sarah Vincent, gets marooned on a desert island. What tracks make the cut? What can’t he live without? Expect stories, surprises, and maybe a guilty pleasure or two. And to round things off, we head to the Swap Shop, as DJ Chappers digs into the vinyl crates and brings two absolute gems he’s hoping to add to his collection. Will they be rare grooves, classic anthems, or forgotten bangers? There’s only one way to find out. It’s a perfectly stacked sandwich of great music and nothing but positive energy.
Good vibes only. No skips. No misses. This is one show you definitely don’t want to miss! 🎧✨
