Pointless skills

OJ Borg is live through the night from Salford as he asks for your pointless skills. Plus, Midnight Mastermind, Wish You Were There and another dial of the Midnight Caller phone.

OJ Borg is live through the night from Salford as he asks for your pointless skills. Plus, Midnight Mastermind, Wish You Were There and another dial of the Midnight Caller phone.

Midnight Mastermind is the quiz where you ask the questions and test OJ on your own specialist subject. He never knows the subject beforehand and has just one song to revise before facing the questions. Do you want to take part and quiz OJ?

Wish You Were There is your chance to soundtrack a story or situation that OJ will tell you all about. He wants your suggestions for the perfect song to capture that moment.

Midnight Caller is where OJ’s sent a basic mobile phone out to New Zealand, and calls it at 2.15am exactly. But who will answer it next? Will it get answered? Listen to find out!

Shiftfaced is for everyone up on the nightshift. Wherever you are listening, whatever you’re doing, let OJ know all about it.

To listen on most smart speakers, just say "Ask BBC Sounds to play OJ Borg."

Produced in Salford by Audio Always for BBC Radio 2.
