We will play 15 songs in the programme of this week. You will hear some singer-songwriters, some fusion, some rock and some instrumental tracks. Somewhere halfway the programme you will find out who is this week's Song of the Week winner. We start in Australia with a singer-songwriter who calls himself a folk-punk troubadour.

Last week's voting was nice and brought us a clear winner. Somewhere halfway the program you will hear who won. The music in TalentCast will build up nicely this week. We start with a relaxing electronic tune from Denmark and we will end this programme with a metal band from India. In between we play country, easy listening and jazzy songs. Towards the end it will be a bit louder, then you can listen to three rock bands we like. There are a lot of good independent musicians and bands in the programme today. Stay tuned!

We did our best to make an attractive playlist for you again. We will play quite many different genres (trip-hop, country, ballad, classical rock, instrumental and more) by artists from all around the globe. Last week's voting was very quiet, but anyway we have a winner. We will play the winning song in about 35 minutes.

Today I am in the mood to play some of my favourite artists. Which of the artists I will play today are my favourites? That will be my little secret. Anyway, also this week I play many different styles by artists from all around the globe, so there is for sure for each his own song again. Don't forget to vote for that song. The Song of the Week winner is from a part of the world where it is summer at the moment. Somewhere halfway the program you will hear who is this week's winner.

Last week, on Friday the first there exceptionally was no edition of TalentCast, so this is our first program for the new year. The crew of TalentCast wishes you all a happy, healthy and musical 2016! First, a little news: Perhaps you have noticed that the crowd-funding website SellaBand went offline just before Christmas. During our short break we have changed the links from many of our artists with SellaBand profiles. You will find the new links on our playlists, charts and voting page.

This is a special Christmas edition of TalentCast and our last program for 2015. We are not only playing Christmas songs today, but the music will be relaxed, suitable to listen to while enjoying your Christmas dinner with your family and friends. I also won't talk much today. I will only introduce our last newcomer for 2015 a bit more extensively. Previous years I ended the last program of the year with a rock song and a lot of fireworks over it. The last song for 2015 is a Christmas song by my dear friend Catself. We wish you a nice Christmas, happy New Year, happy holidays and hope to meet you again in 2016!

We are approaching the end of the year. Already next week, on December the 25th we will bring you our last program for 2015. Today we will play 15 songs in TalentCast. One of these is of course our Song of the Week winner. Dutch listeners might know the winner already, because nowadays his songs are also played by some Dutch national radio stations. I will play the winner towards the end of the program. The rest of the songs are very varied. The genres vary from peaceful at the beginning of the program till extreme loud at the end.

We have a lot of music to play and there is less room for talking than usual. Maybe that is better, because my flat and the flats of my neighbours are being renovated this week and that makes a lot of horrible noise. We have one newcomer to TalentCast and we will also play some nice new songs from artists we have played before.

Today in TalentCast one newcomer, some new songs by artists we have played before and a song by a band from Australia which we haven't played for almost 6 years. Towards the end of the program you will hear this week's Song of the Week winner, it's a convincing winner this time. If you listen well, you might hear some hammering and drilling on the background. That is because my block of flats is being renovated at the moment.

Today we have a varied program with many different music genres and artists from the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, France, Poland, Greece, UK, US, New Zealand and even South Korea. Last week our voting was a bit quiet, although we played some very talented artists. Let's hope this week it will be better again. If you like one of the songs we’re playing more than others, remember you can vote for it on our website, and it takes only two clicks! We start close to my home, in the Netherlands.
