For the past two and a half years, I've made a themed playlist to accompany your coffee and commute (almost) every week. And this will be the last. Over 120 episodes, we've listened to 2,922 tracks – 2,561 different songs (since only 12% were repeated) by 1,450 different artists from all over the world. I'm grateful to the 16 guests who joined me – Lily, Carly, Andrew, Mark, Zoe, Shane, Reshena, Niko, Katie, Darcy, Amanda and the New Year's Day '19 crew – Billy, Lauren, Michelle, Sally, and Simon (+ Shane and Zoe again). Starting next week in this time slot, I'll be starting a new experiment – the Loose Canon Listening Club, BFF.fm's first classical music program. We'll see how that goes... Until then, I've thrown together an upbeat party mix with music from around the world for this one last ride.
Sleep in and never miss an episode: join my mail list.
