I mimic me
Lately we have contacted some of our artists and bands to invite them to upload their newest songs to TalentCast. Some of them sent us some new music in response, and I played some of those new songs 2 weeks ago. But we got even more music than we played in that program and today we will play more.
We start 2015 with only good news:
1. TalentCast is now also on the Player FM app.
2. From now on, we will be broadcast on 2 FM/cable radio stations. Starting this week our program will also be broadcast on Deventer RTV. We are on air every Friday evening between 21:00 and 22:00 (CET). We are also on Ede FM at the same time.
3. Next Sunday, January the 4th we will host our 5th album listening session. Also this time, it will be an open session. You are invited to become one of the first people to hear the second full album (titled "North Sea") of the Canadian band Ophelia Syndrome.
