These shows look fantastic!

Are they available as podcasts? They aren't on at a time that is convenient

dR

 

[phantom dancer]

Thanks for your interest, David

The b'cast times are +10 GMT, 2am Tues Morning and 8am Sat Morning in Europe

Unfortunately I can't legally podcast these shows and for me to do otherwise may potentially threaten 2SER-FM's radio licence. However, 2SER continues to search for ways where it can podcast its music shows legally and inexpensively as the station is a not-for-profit community station

Cheers
