The Northern Transmitter Test with The Mighty Northern Viking

Broadcasting from the heart of the North, The Northern Transmitter Test with The Mighty Northern Viking is a weekly dose of sonic exploration and irreverent chat, presented by Scott Knowles. This Hard Rock Hell Radio podcast digs deep into the rich seams of rock music, from the thunderous weight of Metal and Prog to the gritty edges of Alt and everything that fits in between. It’s a show built on genuine passion for the music, but one that never takes itself too seriously. Each episode is a unique blend, featuring tracks you love and ones you’ll discover, all woven together with the host's distinctive Northern commentary. You’ll hear spoof adverts that skewer modern life and segments of pure, unadulterated Northern nonsense that provide a welcome laugh. A cornerstone of the programme is the now infamous ‘Your Song’ feature, which has become a listener favourite for its personal and often unpredictable selections. It’s this mix of earnest musical curation and playful, off-the-wall humour that defines the podcast’s character. For a regular fix of great tunes and genuine camaraderie, join The Mighty Northern Viking every Monday at 1pm UK time.
