one month passes...
It's been a bit too long, but I finished a new mix! This one features Benny Goodman's famous 1936 Carnegie Hall concert, Orson Welles' radio broadcast of War of the Worlds, an audio collage of the Munich crisis, and quite a lot more, totaling 220 minutes of sound. Come and have a listen, it's free to stream, preview mix available to download, and I'll be putting out another couple of bits over the next month as bonus podcasts.
