178 Review of the Year 2021
Our anniversary show is always a Review of the Year, where Ed picks his favourites from the previous year’s shows. Now we are broadcasting Remastered shows on the alternate weeks, Ed takes his pick from just the new shows, 24 of them in the past year. We broadcast our first show in August 2014. August 2021 marks the end of our seventh year of shows, and begins our eighth. We had a good audience for the show too, something that doesn’t always happen in the holiday season.

177 We Love The Flower Girl: L.A. Sunshine, Psychedelia and Harmony Pop
A welcome diversion to a less complicated time, the late Sixties on the West Coast of the US and the pop scene there. A show full of three-minute singles from some lesser-known bands from that era.
Very well attended too, with a peak of 25 listeners and 24 for most of the show. Hope to see you all again.

176 Play That Funky Music
The Radio Free D’ni schedule covers every Sunday these days, and I forgot to check on the dates for Mysterium, so we coincided. It was a very pleasant surprise to find sixteen people in the cavern when I got there, and a total audience of 28 overall during the show – one of our best attended for a while. The subject of the show seems to have been a big hit as well 🙂
