This Island Earth
Sunday December 25th, 2022 with Manmohan Panesar
My favourite listens of 2022!! Thirty three albums that caught my ear in the last twelve months.

I've chosen 33 albums that caught my ear over the last 12 months, although a couple of them may be from the tail end of 2021, but which I only listened to in 2022 for the first time. This afternoon we are travelling to each continent, except for Antarctica.
