A nice show this week, full of great music, but somber as we note the passing of our friend and BFF.fm legend Ben Russo. Read the memorial to him here. Rest in peace, Ben, you're an inspiration and one of the most upright, kind-hearted people you could know. Truly a rock of our radio community, it's hard to imagine we'd recognise BFF.fm today without his influence and hard work in the early years.
We also announced that at the end of November, Eclectic Kettle will be coming to an end. 😱 Simon now spends more time living on the East Coast with his family than in San Francisco these days, and after five years, it feels right to call time. Don't panic, Ben will be starting a brand new show… which will probably sound pretty familiar if we're honest… but we'll share more about that nearer the time. From here on out, we're counting down. Look forward to shows with some of our favourite guest hosts over the next few weeks before a grand finale.
