Historical Society

Since Radio b launched in 1969, there has been an enormous array of talent and characters coming through the station. In the 40th year of b, Dubhead is hunting down alumni to get memories of their tenure and asking them to select a few tunes representative of their time at 95bFM.
The shows (without the tunes) are available as bcasts following their broadcast.
