I haven't done a podcast for a wee while........

Because I've landed a spot on a proper radio station!!!!!!

I'm now the reggae DJ at NE1FM 102.5fm in Newcastle Upon Tyne, England.

Here's the first hour of my debut show from March 25th - second hour to follow later this week.

As you can tell I'm kinda nervous and screw up a couple times as I'd never done proper radio before but I've been told I'm getting better and will post more recent shows here too.

Enjoy
