Spinnin' as usual

Every morning, unfailingly at seven, the voices of two Bangaloreans break into my reverie just as the cock crows – and you bet it does, literally, loud and clear at 100 watts of RMS.
That’s the time I listen to Spin, a radio station that has grown on me ever since I invested in a Worldspace Radio receiver as a special New year gift all for myself.

The two culprits are Anjana and Hari who generally seem to be on air for the sole purpose of stumbling through the morning with their cups of coffee.
The music is good and recognizable, a morning mocktail of the classics and the new stuff. However, one wishes that the Big Bang had a small request slot worked into it, maybe from about 8 to 8:30 where messages and dedications could be worked into the patter.
Of course, Spin does have the occasional special show where listeners are contacted and actually get their requests aired in their own voices, but that’s very few and far between, the last one being on Valentine’s Day.
Anyhow, here’s wishing Happy Birthday to Spin … which completed one year on the 15th of April... and best wishes to all thepeople behind the shows like Spin Gold, and the Sunday Morning Show

Cheers to radio … someone still loves you!!
