SHOW NEWS

16th March, 2012

Show 30 is the last Rhythm Is My Business in the series. It has been with considerable reluctance that I have decided to cease broadcasting on Sunshine-FM, as an advertiser to replace my original sponsor could not be found. I will continue to seek other stations and sponsors for this unique radio show so that can continue.

16th March, 2012

I have changed hosting provider again for various technical reasons. Should you find any pages or links that don't work, please do let me know! The change should be completely 'transparent', but technology and human error being what it is...

19th October, 2011

When I changed servers, I omitted to re-upload the feed files for podcasts: this is now corrected and they should now be working correctly. My apologies for the error!

I have also now added Rhythm Is My Business to the iTunes Podcast directory, so that show is now available for automatic download if desired.

I will be attempting to syndicate to other stations, so if you know of any where you live that may be interested in this format, please do let me know!
