The Show
This week we marked the centenary of the birth of Ian Fleming, the sad passing of Earle Hagen and Alexander Courage and the space-time-continuum-busting news that both Kylie and Jason turned 40 this week.
You can catch a repeat of the show when it goes out on Wednesday 11 June from 10pm - midnight, either by tuning in to 98.8 FM (in and around Edinburgh) or online via the
Leith FM website.
