Odd Girl Out: show 36

Great to be back on-air after Optical Radio’s three-week hiatus. The posh DJ CD player was gone, so it was back to the old, cranky one that tends to skip, but at least matches its mate. But, nothing that was too disruptive.

For those who don’t know, Optical broadcasts from a police-station-turned-art-centre, The Old Police Station, in what was the interrogation room, a tiny, windowless space adjacent to the old cells. It’s a “special” atmosphere, to be sure. On to the show, which is repeated Sunday @ 13:00....
