Diggin' the tunes Peter! I'm always reluctant to listen in as I'll end up adding several hundred dollars of records to my want list...

Live stream is not working for me. I am using a real RADIO! I can stream old shows but when I click LISTEN to the live show it says Connecting... then nothing. Anyone else?

PeterB (host)
Hey Sir Heavy! Glad you are digin'. The new Heliocentrics is KILLER, as are the new Shabaka, Sarathy ... well, and everything else really.

Re the live stream, was it working, and stopped? OTHER LISTENERS: Anyone else out there not able to live stream CKCU, off the main CKCU web page???? PLEASE let us know, either way -- working for you, or not.

I am able to live stream. When I click on LISTEN it takes a few seconds before the window opens and than when I hit the PLAY button it streams. Maybe it was really slow earlier in the show. Great show, PB.

Thanks Manmohan, on both counts. Stream works fine here -- tried it in Studio B.

Sounding good on both for me. That Mdou show was insane! Hi Manmohan! Nice to meet you Friday at Trevor's Analog Africa night

Jas, it was great to meet you as well. It was only later in the show that I realized that Jasmine is none other than Jas Nasty. :-) The Mdou Moctor show is sold out but I'm keeping my fingers crossed to somehow find a ticket!
