PLAY LINK: PODWIRELESS 284 APRIL 2026
As has been trailed for the past year in the monthly email newsletter – scroll down for how to be added to the list – Podwireless is no longer uploaded to Podomatic (which also feeds other download sites like Apple and Google podcasts) because the cost is too high. Most people are streaming on Mixcloud – that's the link above – and download numbers have fallen right off as a result. As Podwireless is advert free and produces no income other than listener contributions, we can't afford to subsidise it. Sorry.
Podwireless is available for free: it’s a labour of love and public service netcasting. If you would like to make a voluntary contribution to its running costs, see the Tip Jar link at the top of the column on the right or just go to https://www.paypal.me/unmanage !

When you've had time to digest each Podwireless edition, I'd love to get your feedback on any tracks that have particularly caught your attention. At the end of the year when I do the "Best 50" albums I'll also publish the most nominated listeners' favourite discoveries. Let's say maximum three per show. (BUT note : if you're an artist or label, please don't take this as an invite to get friends & fans to spam me: it's boring and easily spotted!). Please email podwireless@outlook.com with Feedback! in the subject line.
There's an emailing list for alerts when each Podwireless edition goes live. Drop an email to podwireless@outlook.com with Podwireless Mailing List in the subject line to be added to it.
