I’m back on the radio with a ‘Virtual Surf Report’ on SAfm 104–107 at around 12:30pm weekdays<\/span><\/p>\n

Yup. Jon Gericke called me up recently to say, ‘Hey, Roy, wanna be on the radio again?’<\/p>\n

So I said, ‘Yeah.’<\/p>\n

And he said, ‘Okay. I’m on the midday slot for the next few weeks, during the holiday period, and I’d love you to do a “virtual surf report”, a sort of “how to go on holiday without leaving the comfort of your armchair” thing. You up for it?’<\/p>\n

So I said, ‘Yeah.’<\/p>\n

So Friday was my first slot, and I talked about Google Maps<\/a>. I found myself in San Francisco, hunting down sushi bars.<\/p>\n

Today I’m talking about the most awesome music site I’ve discovered called Magnatune<\/a>. The dude running it has the best deal with his artists. They get 50% of all money their music earns. But better than this… the person buying the music gets to choose how much they pay. Killer stuff. I’ve already bought 3 albums from the site, and I will be buying many more.<\/p>\n

You can listen to SAfm via live audio streaming. Just go to the SAfm website<\/a> and click on the ‘listen live<\/a>‘ link. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to work with Firefox, so crank it up in Internet Explorer.<\/p>\n
