It's so, so good to be back!! After 3 weeks of tech issues, frustration and angst, the "Risin' " sessions finally return to the airwaves!! Of course, it's a bit late to be wishing you all a Happy New Year, I know, but still, I hope you're all finding January far less challenging!! 

It's my absolute pleasure to be back playing for you all on a Soulful Saturday, and I think this morning's show reflects that...hope you enjoy this!!

Wow...I can't quite believe that the "Risin' " sessions has reached 800 podcasts - I guess it proves the point that if you love what you're doing, you never notice the time or quantity that's gone before! So, in keeping with the milestone, here's 2 hours of soulful, deep and broken archive niceness to reminisce over, or get to know...

...and of course, sending love and good thoughts to all ahead of the festive season - hope you and yours have a fabulous Christmas, and I look forward to sharing more aural goodness in the final "Risin' " of 2025, next week. Take care of yourselves, enjoy, and a Merry Christmas to you all!!
