Podwireless Archive Winter 2010

 

PLAY LINK: PODWIRELESS ARCHIVE WINTER 2010

(This playlink is to Mixcloud streaming:  you can also download the podcasts from Podomatic )

 

Two programmes first heard a decade back during Podwireless’s earlier incarnation as fRoots Radio, associated with fRoots magazine (RIP).  

Some of the label web links that were given back then no longer work – either the labels no longer exist or the CDs are out of catalogue. Where nothing's listed here, I suggest going to Discogs where, in most cases, you can at least buy a second-hand copy.
