In this new episode I’m talking to Arnold Lavine from 1970’s station Radio Concord. We chat about how Concord started, and,
how it went on to be the radical voice of the 1970’s counterculture in London. We also talk about his excellent book, “Banned by the BBC”,
and finally what he has been doing since the end of Radio Concord.

1984 Offshore Documentary with Lawrie Hallett
This time we have been given permission by Lawrie Hallett to play out his other pirate documentary. You may remember episode 21 where he talked to some of the London Land Based Pirates of the early 80’s. Well, this time he covers the offshore pirates up to 1984 and includes exclusive interviews with Ronan O’Rahilly, Tony Blackburn and John Peel about their time with the ships.

Ian Harling - Radio Cavendish (SW), South Coast Radio (MW & FM)
This week we are again outside London. We're off to the south coast with Ian Harling from Radio Cavendish and South Coast Radio among others. Here how they smuggled a FM transmitter from the Netherlands and another transmitter across to France for a one off broadcast back to the UK. Tales of cat and mouse antics with the authorities and once again Nick Catford pops up in the story. Great stuff from Ian.
