194 International Women’s Day 2022
We try to support special events in the Cavern as well as our regular shows, and IWD is one we’ve supported for the last six years. This year, unfortunately, neither Ed nor Mal was available to mix the show, and so I had to present it solo, as I don’t have the equipment. Old age does that to you…
I inherited 23 listeners from Podhopper’s show and still had 20 by the end of it – very pleasing, for a weekday show and at a late hour for European listeners.
