Desert Island Discs

[So It Goes 2512]

hi Alan

This ardent fan found a lot more than 500 using the recently discussed Radio Downloader. At the moment, you can get hold of all the episodes (in full, not scoped versions) going back to July 1998, but for a brief golden period, they went back as far as January 1997, which I took full advantage of, and I now have a complete archive from then to February 2001, and am still collecting. Don't know when I'll get time to listen to them, though :-((

Best wishes
Steve (TK)
