bFM's daily magazine show, a signature mix of arts, culture, interviews & features, and great music. The Morning Glory bCast features full shows and feature interviews.
Played some live tracks from the Repairs & Tooms gig at The Wine Cellar earlier this month + spun a few of my favourite new songs including ones from Yaeji, Kate NV & Roy Ayers.
Back in the studio today after a long weekend. 2 hours of music including some live goodies from Leaping Tiger & Skilaa who played at The Wine Cellar last week too. Felt weird to be talking about and promoting music at the moment but there is an incredible amount of great music emerging from people of colour so that was the focus this week.

This week, Sam and Geneva take a look at the "lost" Neil Young album "Homegrown" which is finally seeing a releases after 45 years. Originally slated for a 1975 release, the album was canned at the last minute but has now finally seen the light of day in 2020.
