The host of Switzerland in Sound, Bob Zanotti.<\/p><\/div>\n

For any of you who listened to Swiss Radio International (SRI) on shortwave radio, you’ll no doubt know the name of long-time radio presenter Bob Zanotti. For me, his deep, rich voice was synonymous with SRI.<\/p>\n

What you may not know is that Zanotti hosts his own website called Switzerland In Sound<\/a>. It is chock-full of up-to-date Swiss information, news (Tina Turner became Swiss?), interviews, thoughts, musings and a wealth of vintage recordings from SRI.<\/p>\n

\"SwitzerlandInSound\"<\/a>If you were a fan of The Swiss Shortwave Merry-Go-Round<\/em>, you’ll be pleased to discover the many recordings he has of The Two Bobs (Bob Zanotti and Bob Thomann)<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Bob also manages a Facebook page for Switzerland in Sound<\/a>. If you’re on Facebook, I encourage you to join his group<\/a>.<\/p>\n
