  • The 5 minutes became 30 minutes every week, and then gradually an hour a week
  • The show has been run by students for many years, until many of themgraduated, and some stayed on, taking it up to a more professionallevel
  • The show was originally pre-recorded, and then 3 years ago it became live.
  • There used to be a technician and a host every show; but now it is aone-person job
