Daily Listeners

We tune in from dawn to dusk, even leave this playing on the smart speaker so the cat has company when we’re not home. Love the station, Chris & team as need this especially in the morning although if I miss it I catch up on the app. Keep up the great work guys. 😎

Give us the whole show

I hate the fact that you can’t listen back to the whole show. This was a foolish move: regular playback listener lost
