How about a 'Radio Red Hot Pawn' podcast? One a week, one hour long, produced by those who fancy doing it, taking it in turns. Lowish bit rate. Slap them on a blog so that there can be some photos and stuff. Just an idea.

Originally posted by FMFI kind of like the idea, at least the mix-tape bit - dunno so much about the filler, that sounds a bit intimidating to a techo dunce like me.

Originally posted by FMFWhen I'm driving. Both Dutch and British Radio 4. They're very different, though - Dutch Radio 4 is the classical music channel. British Radio 4 is... well, if you don't know it, it's hard to describe. Except for the last few weeks, when it's wall-to-wall cricket coverage. Cricket radio is fun for an hour or so, not for weeks on end. But when India go home #2, BBCR4 will be a lot of fun again.
Does anyone listen to radio anymore?
I mean for consuming music not news etc.
What, where, when, how much, why?

like has been mentioned before, bbc 6 music is the only radio station that i can and do listen to often... mostly when online at home. at the moment i'm listening to a clash album though.
bbc radio 2 and any classical radio station i can listen to but not for that long... depends what's on obviously. also occasionally listen to 'the slacker and steve' show at http://www.alice1059.com/ that i got into while in america, the actual music is pretty crap but 'slacker' and steve are hilarious.

I do not. Haven't listened to a song dated later than 1979 except for the brief 1985 Live Aid Concert on TV. I listen to NPR, to audio books, foreign language teaching tapes, and comedy routines. And lots of tapes of the good music (pre 1979)😀

Content varies from music (whatever channel has the fewest and least annoying adverts), sports commentary or news.
