This week, your intrepid host tells you the tale of the mystery radio that bought Belinda Carlisle in the night.

Music in this episode is by me, Kan Gao, and Kan Gao again. I like his music. Also, the game those tracks are from is wonderful.

In December 1981, the Union Star got into trouble off the coast of Cornwall. The loss of her engines, coupled with a terrible storm led to the loss of her crew, plus the crew of the RNLI lifeboat, the Solomon Browne.

The RNLI do an incredible job. You can donate to them here.

Let me take you for a walk along Southampton’s busy high street, to a quiet utopia by the river.

*note* Since I recorded this, the Bargate shopping centre I mentioned is no more. RIP Sega World, you took a good chunk of my apprenticeship pay.
