I really wonder what things the random comments on #FXRadio are taken from, such as the one about the vacuum cleaner, or Ken leaping into the air and landing flat on his face, etc. @NoiseBox

Those are audio description clips from various shows on UK television. Unlike America, AD there is on it's own track. So I just had @FreakyFwoof record just the AD track for a few random shows years ago, and it plays one at random every 777 seconds.

@FreakyFwoof So that's the time frame for those. I always thought it was randomized between 10 and 15 minutes.

@Kaliah @FreakyFwoof I forget how I set it up. One thing is every 555 seconds, and another thing is every 777. I think AD is 555, so that would make it just short of every 10.

@FreakyFwoof What other thing runs on a time schedule? I know the FX radio jingles come every 15 minutes except for on the hour, but the descriptions are the only other thing I know of that goes off every so often.

@Kaliah @FreakyFwoof Well, I was wrong twice. I just looked at the configuration. AD plays every 704 seconds, and a random musical/production thing plays every 555 seconds.

@Kaliah @FreakyFwoof Are the musical/production things separate from the FX Radio jingles?

Yes. the ID's go off at 15, 30 and 45 past the hour. Nothing on the top, because I'm supposed to do something more interesting for that, and I haven't coded it yet.

@Kaliah @FreakyFwoof I love how creative those ID's are. Did you use SoftVoice for several of them?

@Kaliah @FreakyFwoof Yeah. I made most of those back in 2013. I need to make a whole bunch of new ones to keep it fresh. Just haven't been in the correct headspace.

@FreakyFwoof I think my favorite ones are either the ones that go "This, this is FX radio! You're listening to it! Right now!" Or the one with Microsoft Zira.

@Kaliah @FreakyFwoof I think my favorites are the one that plays the music and goes "F... X... Radio," or the "This is FX Radio, all sound effects, all the time, 24 hours a day." Or the "Hello! You appear to be listening to FX Radio! What do you think about that?" And there are others too.

@Kaliah @FreakyFwoof Fun thing with the FX Radio" music thing. That's just the same ID rendered five times, because every time it rendered, the delay at the end was a little bit different.

@FreakyFwoof So I wasn't imagining that, I was almost sure that jingle played more than others

@FreakyFwoof That's really cool! I think it's also cool that the audio descriptions are on separate tracks there.
