Been listening to Iain since the eighties and thank you. I listen to lots of different radio stations but since Sunday I’ve been re-streaming last Sundays’ show section between Donald GW Lindsay through Rachel and Holli and onto the reading from Turgenev….when listening to these moments time stands still ,no need for a dram just stoned on the atmosphere you’ve created with these artists I think this was sublime entertainment and the team have moved into another level of “Radio” art. Thanks
Great, interesting play list ……. as always
Having some issues listening, anyone else? The programmes keep buffering after a few minutes. It might be me but I can listen to other things without any buffering?
Working OK for us, Ruth, so hard to know what your issue is. But if you google “Mixcloud keeps buffering” it will make some suggestions.
