- Twelve Reasons to Die — not the type of programming I have come to expect from this radio show. Especially the N-word and obscenities and threats. It will be some time before I tune in again.

A little all over the place musically this week. Thanks for tuning in Peter B and Robert P

Hmm Draco, something to think about. Thank you for your feedback. I'm not sure if you'll see this since you I've temporarily stopped listening to This Island Earth, but my world of music includes hip hop and rap and in the context of this show, I'm especially interested in sharing how it influences musicians and cultures around the world (for example, this week’s set of new Ghanian rap), but you're right, much of hip hop is filled with imagery and language that might not be what you're expecting on a Sunday afternoon. I'll be more aware of that going forward.
