After his appearance 30 years ago on Stars In Their Eyes performing as Meat Loaf, Steve Steinman has developed a wide array of original tracks in tribute of his hero, and has gone on the road extensively, touring with his band, starring in the Meat Loaf story, Anything For Love (at The London Palladium and elsewhere) and creating his own rock opera, Vampires Rock.

Nick caught up with him to discuss his debut album, Take A Leap Of Faith, and life on the road.

SNS Online Series 10 - Steve Steinman

ARTS.   LIFESTYLE.   SNS ONLINE.

- SNS Online started its life as a weekly hour long LGBTQ+ magazine/music show ('ScratchNSniff', hence 'SNS'!) on national Irish dance music station, RTÉ Pulse - running on and off for four years. Since then the show has evolved as an online showcase for actors, musicians, journalists, authors, script writers, stand-up comedians and more - all in the form of in-depth one-to-one interviews - all fully illustrated with archive audio & music. These are independent podcasts produced to the highest professional standards and non-profit making/also unhindered by advertising. Nick himself describes SNS Online as an 'audio love letter' to all who take part. But don't take his word for it - dive in!

- SNS Online's Nick Randell has worked in radio/TV sound for 30 years at the BBC. He has also presented for the BBC World Service - 'Pop Phrases' (a 20 part BBC English series), the UK top ten for the Azeri stream (in English, not Azeri!), radio packages for numerous BBC regions/World Service, and finally, Irish national, RTÉ (four series of weekly hour shows - music/features/guests Weds 7-8pm). 

- TV appearances Blue Peter, Newsround, The One Show (BBC One), Gaytime TV (BBC Two), The Working Life (ITV). 

- Was once described as 'some BBC suit' by The Guardian's Media Monkey, after Nick wrote a letter to Ariel which got misinterpreted. 

- Many other 'ScratchNSniff' shows from its initial RTÉ run are available to be heard via Mixcloud by searching there for SNS Online.
