As usual, looking for some tunes for a forthcoming shortwave mix we found a nice tune.  It’s a great bit of Polish Rap from Litlost from the Olszak / Bitykradne – Night Bus EP called Pr…

Out with the fleece, newspapers and net curtains please
Thanks to Debby H for the reminder to get the frost protection out this weekend as we’re in for a touch for frost. It’ll be wise to cover those plants that aren’t hardy or for those tha…

Imaginary Stations with the final episodes of WNTR. Via shortwaveradio.de on Saturday 3rd January and then again on Sunday 4th January. Winter vibes abound as per with the show, and the temperature outside may only a few degrees, but we will be transmitting as much winter warmth as we can!
