This is massively disappointing - all four are knowledgeable and passionate and have shows that introduce and champion music. For those who only know Natasha Raskin Sharp from antiques on TV, she's a massive music fan and her weekly show is brilliantly diverse across genre, time and geography.
Disappointed to hear this.
Roddy Hart was a strong supporter of new music and Billy Sloane had been a fixture of Scottish radio for decades.
Not much worth tuning in for now.

In 2023, Rhino issued a vinyl-only test pressing version of Todd Rundgren's Runt LP. It featured the songs Baby Let's Swing, The Last Thing You Said and Don't Tie My Hands in full (they were later edited into a medley). Two years on and I've still not heard these complete tracks. Can anyone help?

So back in 2008 I was apparently shelling out £45 a month for 0GB data, 1200mins and 500 messages (and I only used 82mins and 46 messages that month)
😳 📱
[For reference, I currently pay £6/mth for unlimited mins & texts, and 12GB data]

We saw this car the other day and these little leaves were so prettily and artfully placed that both my daughter and I initially thought it was a decal 🍁 😍

I've been seeing so much fat-shaming of Trump. Look - I hate him as much as you do, but:
1. He dgaf what you think. He's not reading your tweets or looking at the stupid AI pictures you post.
2. Actual overweight people are getting a really good idea of what you think about them.
Stop it.

Holy Moly, this absolutely astonishing. Well into it now, some 500 pages, and we’ve just reached ‘Wild Life’ being released … the detail is just mind boggling and makes you think you are somehow a witness to everything in real time … wonderful 🤩

The BBC chair rightly admits an error in editing Trump’s Jan 6 speech. But he does not challenge the false Trumpian claim in the dossier: that Panorama “completely” and “materially”misrepresented its meaning. This is not impartiality. It’s surrender to post-truth populism.

1) A new study by the group of Benjamin Natelson reports abnormal breathing patterns in ME/CFS patients during an exercise test.
42% met the criteria for dysfunctional breathing compared to 16% in controls.

The crisis at the BBC shows how embattled and defensive serious news organisations have become - and how close they are to yielding, pre-emptively, and being overwhelmed, by authoritarian populists.

So, with ICE all over Chicago, my 80+ year old mom does not think it is safe to travel there now. She lived there as a kid and feels it is less safe now with all the military/ICE. Cousin’s funeral will be on zoom now. She will watch from home.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

I’m having one of these horrible days where my heart rate is too low - even when exerting myself or anxious it stays at least 20bpm where it should be. I feel the effects when trying to think or process anything mentally and just feel so slow… Any #MECFS people get that or know what that’s about?
