So, goodbye MTV. I will miss you. I watched you in awe in the early eighties when I visited the States, and I remember how excited I was when the advent of cable zapped it directly into my room in continental Europe. Ray Cokes and Kristiane Backer were my VJ heroes,

Good morning Bluesky. Little query: what do you feel are the live radio streams most conducive to a happy relaxed working environment in the home office? Let's limit it to French, Dutch, English and German language stations.

This is a shock, Jane Goodall (1934-2025) has died. One of my dad’s cousins knew her & would regularly give me updates on her adventures & chimps. She was a great force for good & part of my childhood. 91 is a good age, but it’s personal when your heroes die.
