Embarrassingly I listened for the first time this Sunday just gone. I like the chit chat between the records.. not too much anorak info, just enough to keep me interested while the next record was queued. I will be sure to catch it on Sundays from now on

Mark, do you think there would be any possibility of a CD containing stuff that you and your guests, have played on the show being released?

I'm looking forward to Mr Franklins spot on the 4th.

I'm sure the guests would have no problem with the CD idea, time is my problem at present with other commitments but a good idea which may be possible down the line.
