Regular features of the show include 

• album of the week - three tracks from a new or classic album that pass Shifty and Hefty's stringent Quality Control process.
• cover of the week - a well known band doing an unusually good, bad or simply sublime cover version of something vaguely famous.
• single of the week - this week's guests are given the opportunity to wrap their ears around five brand new 45s.  Together with Shifty and Hefty, they are required to mark each track out of ten, giving extra points, if desired, for qualities such as loudness or amusing lyrical puns.  The single collecting most points will be given the enviable accolade of Shifty and Hefty single of the week.
• IAIN CRAWFORD ROCKS - a heavy mental track of the large and noisy variety played in honour of any HM connoisseurs who may be listening.
• here's one that drew lent us - an absurdly odd song is, each week, donated to the Shifty and Hefty show by Drew, a fellow Isles fm DJ and collector of the obscure and odd ball.  Strangely, these records went largely unnoticed by the general record-buying public - S and H wish to show them the error of their ways. 
• Alfie - Shifty and Hefty's computerised chum whose incisive, witty and topical observations on life, love and music nearly always raise a laugh.

But you can help them!  Why not tell them what you're listening to these days, by filling in the form on this web site.  Go on!  Pop over to the vote for your favourite songs page and let Shifty and Hefty know what you'd like to hear on the show.
