Jingle Jungle

by Cpt.Stax

Over the years we’ve been lucky enough to receive hundreds of jingles from musicians all over the world. They are part of Mod Radio’s 30 year history. We'd love adding new ones. So why not make our day and send us a little accompanying jingle?

This week we kick off a brand-new season of tCSS, the 23rd since that Sept 2004 when I first started radio DJing. Same radio station throughout, Mod Radio UK Because apparently I wasn’t tempting fate enough, I’ve decided to tempt Doom instead 😁

Upwards and downwards

Here I am. The most attentive followers may have already noticed that the 1st episode of the year is now on-air. Lots of great stuff and my usual care in digging up something unusual, distinctive, or occasionally exclusive. That’s part of the fun.
