As a quite new listerner I have to say this is the best show I ever heard. You have a way to pick out the most exellent tracs and it never gets boring! Also gave me some new myspace friends…or should I say; your friends got themselves a new fan:))
Look forward to the future shows!

Thanks Hilde, We really appreciate your support and feedback. We hope one day to do some Jazzumentaries (a spin on documentaries)!
By the way E9 is tremendous I particularly like the Frankie Knuckles (now I know where that groove comes from) and the Gentle People thing knocked me out. I am off over to Halifax tonight to spread the word even further. I will get my friends there to start getting the podcast.
