ANNOUNCEMENT - The Future of The First Ever Radio Hour18 Sep 202300:02:59

Hello everyone:

This is the end of The First Ever Radio Hour here on the main public feed. Sadly, I have been flagged one too many times for playing copyrighted material. I don't want to endanger the feed being pulled entirely.

THE GOOD NEWS IS: If you feel you will miss the radio hours - I will still be doing them over on the Patreon where those aren't public. You'll be able to access every previous episode including all the patreon specfic episodes which are often themed or collaboritive. 

You can subscribe for as little as $3 a month to get access plus a whole lot more.

Thank you so much for your time. 

Jeremy
