I’ll use this thread to announce updates to Bob’s occasional podcasts.

Most recent: “Narcissus” – jingles that sing about the companies that made them:

For those without Quicktime, I’ve put the audio on Soundcloud, but the accompanying explanation on Bob’s site.

Regarding the Voices of Angels montage: Impressive tribute!

[Barras]

Lovely montage, thanks ratnob…unfortunately, acapellas have never been used that much on British radio stations, they seem to be an American thing, I believe the first aca in the montage is by Hugh Heller.

Lou

You don’t have a demo? I’m a big fan of Chris Kershaw’s work.

[loujosephs]

no as fairwest 1st started as just the fairbanks stations only..vbf, ibc, kvil etc.

[loujosephs]

no live stream but Potomac MD’s WCTN, 950 AM, is back to its on-again, off-again rock and pop oldies format, with tunes from the 1950s through the 1970s, as “Oldies 95.” The station, owned by Win Radio, had been running a brokered lefty talk format. Over the years, the station has also run brokered Spanish and other ethnic programming, after a long run of Christian programming. Our guess is that the oldies will continue on WCTN until someone else is found to pay for programming time on the Montgomery County station. No jocks either just voice tracking with TM jingles which you can find on a bob dinan podcast a while ago

“In the mid-seventies, jingles by Emison dominated the emerging sound of British independent radio. Looking back, it was a bit like one of those brightly-lit incubators in which small yellow chicks hatched from assorted eggs after seemingly hours of mysterious tapping …”
