featured episode

Many meals ago an ancient prophesy on the back of a Shreddies box foretold the coming of a man whose hunger could never be locked up. A man whose appetite for food was matched only by his appetite for victory. A man who gross consumption would attain legendary status across the globe. A man they would call 'The Stick'.

Over the past three weeks 'The Stick' has watched on as six young compeatitors have steaked a clam at his apple crown. Now it is time for his return from retirement in Wednesday night's munch-anticipated pay-per-spew Eat To The Beat - The Last Supper. The Grammed Final will see a fatal four-way between Zoe 'Killergrams', Thin Joe Evans, Shaun 'Sweet Tooth' Murphy, and John 'The Stick' Burns all eating a mystery food over 45 gruelling mineats. The winner will be crowned the 2009 Eat To The Beat King-Size Champion.

Many meals ago an ancient prophesy on the back of a Shreddies box foretold the coming of a man whose hunger could never be locked up. A man whose appetite for food was matched only by his appetite for victory. A man who gross consumption would attain legendary status across the globe. A man they would call 'The Stick'.

Over the past three weeks 'The Stick' has watched on as six young compeatitors have steaked a clam at his apple crown. Now it is time for his return from retirement in Wednesday night's munch-anticipated pay-per-spew Eat To The Beat - The Last Supper. The Grammed Final will see a fatal four-way between Zoe 'Killergrams', Thin Joe Evans, Shaun 'Sweet Tooth' Murphy, and John 'The Stick' Burns all eating a mystery food over 45 gruelling mineats. The winner will be crowned the 2009 Eat To The Beat King-Size Champion.

If you want to eat along at home you'll need to live near a supermarket or 24 hour shop. We'll be putting up a clue as to nature of the mystery food about an hour before the show on www.subcity.org/shows/rockislandline As soon as that clue goes up I'd recommend dashing down to the shops and stocking up on as much as you think you can eat.

If you want to join us in the studio for some pundeatry, or fancy being one of our team of plateside analysts, then get in touch by emailing jannik@subcity.org

That's the unmissable Rock Island Line - Wednesday 6-8pm on www.subcity.org and 106.6FM (for the last time this year).
