Last week many people (almost 200) came to our website to vote. One song got by far the most votes. We will play it for you some time half way through the programme. If there is also this week a song you like the most, welcome to vote for it before Tuesday, November 22.
Members of TalentCast: We are curious to what you think about this radio programme, the website and the project as a whole. About two weeks ago, I (Johan) started a thread on our little forum where I asked for your opinion and ideas about what can be improved. Some of our members responded already, thank you very much. More feedback will of course be very appreciated and I look forward to meet more of our members in the thread.
