Greetings to all.
This is not a scheduled posting, it is to put right a major mistake by me in counting up the number of episodes of "The Thief Lord", out Tuesday 5.30pm presentation.
I calculated there would be 12 episodes of about 20 minutes duration.
It is on 6 cassette tapes. Each tape has a Side A and Side B. Each side runs for just uder 45 minutes.  So the planned 12 weeks to hear it through, should correctly be 24 weeks. Therefore playing about 22 minutes per night once a week means it will take 6 months to play right through.
AND (here's advance notice) my tenure at the Radio Station will probably finish before the end of the year.
Therefore: to solve the problem, I propose to play each side in full.
If we stick with a 5.30 start, this means overrunning into the 6pm and then the 6.30 programmes.
So I will start each episode of The Thief Lord at 5.15pm and run through the full 45 minutes of the cassette.
To summarise:-
The segment on my programme "For Younger Ears" will henceforth commence at 5.15pm each Tuesday.
