If it’s cold where you are, you will already know the benefits of the show. We’re talking records to warm the cockles of your heart, blazing tunes and even a couple of simmering cover versions to turn up the heat on the shortwave dial.

If all goes well we will also have The Baltimore Boilermen and Boilerwomen Pipe Band in the studio bringing you a rendition of “Feeling hot, hot, hot” and some central heating tips (all subject to availability of course). It’ll be a fun hour, so wrap yourself up in your favourite blanket, put on some fluffy slippers, make yourself a hot chocolate and enjoy the show.

On Wednesday January 8th 2025 at 0300 UTC via WRMI we have another episode of the wonderful Radio Ace. Tune in for an hour of something very radio related.

Good morning all SWLing Post folks, FastRadioBurst 23 here letting you know now, in this instance, what the Imaginary Stations crew will be bringing to the shortwaves this coming week.

Firstly we have the debut of KNOW (our great new trailer is above) on Saturday December 14th 2024 at 1200 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and repeated on Sunday December 15th 2024 at 1000/1400 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and also at 2100 UTC on 3975 kHz via Shortwave Gold.

We will be imparting some very deep knowledge on the show, answers to questions like “When is tea-time?”, “Where’s me jumper/glasses/soldering iron?” and “Why doesn’t this work?” and bringing you songs that are in the moment, out of the moment and tunes that you may not even know.

Then on Wednesday December 18th 2024 at 0300 UTC via WRMI we have the return of the excellent Radio Thrift Shop where DJ Frederick will be playing an eclectic mix from forgotten 45’s, library music and seldom heard LPs, EPs, 45’s and scratchy 7″ers. Prepare your ears to be suprised!

Good day all SWLing Post readers, FastRadioBurst 23 here letting you know what the Imaginary Stations crew will be bringing to the airways this coming week.

We’ve another WMMR, Mystery Mix Radio show on Saturday December 7th 2024 at 1200 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and repeated on Sunday December 8th 2024 at 1000/1400 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and also at 2100 UTC on 3975 kHz via the services of Shortwave Gold. As usual it is a show of an unknown theme that listeners will have to guess what it is. There even may be a clue contained in this text but then again there may not be. So tune in with your pen and pad and a magnifying glass at the ready in full Sherlock Holmes attire and see if you can guess this week’s theme.

Then on Wednesday December 11th 2024 at 0300 UTC via WRMI we have the return of CBRG. Welcome to the sound of Seeburg, AKA the might mellow. Here’s a little taster for you:

Expect all sorts of family related tunes whether they be Family Favourites, tunes about your mum, dad, sister or brother or about that old uncle or aunt that pops around unexpectantly so does the best crockery.

So gather around at the alloted time, turn on that shortwave radio and feel a part of something and revel “in the theatre of our imagination” with KFAM.

Then on Wednesday December 4th 2024 at 0300 UTC via WRMI we have the return of XRPT. This is a mix-up of various themes, Imaginary Station shows of the past, present and future, once described as “a non-linear journey into the creative process of the Skybird crew” and a well interesting listen, so set that (radio) alarm and do not miss it!

Here’s more on KFAM:
