Brian. Your Advent calendar is a great ides. The one wish I have is that I could listen to them without my hearing impediment.This goes for all music, recorded or live.Sadly hearing aids are not able to bring purity anywhere near. It means that many a time when I am asked ' would I like a pint " Often giving the wrong answer
Cheers

Bob, does spoken word work any better for you as there will be a few more radio shows from the past coming up.

Yes, the spoken word is margenly better. The [problem with hearing aids is that they amplify everything so , for me, they become just one big blob of noise, others ,may experience simlilar
Example--round the table at meal times I will often pick up on a topic that has been thoroughly thrashed yonks ago, lots of merriment, I think I am only kept for entertainment .
Cheers
