Tuesdays 7.30 to 9pm on 2SER 107.3fm. real radio etc.
Leigh has been involved with community broadcasting since 1999, pre-millennium and all. She used to host the Osmosis program on 2SER, as well as Roundabout and Sunny Side Up on FBi 94.5fm, and knows, to some extent, how to twiddle the knobs and even cue up the old 45s.
Playing an eclectic mix of indie music, the show is occasionally esoteric, sometimes even educational but hopefully mostly just entertaining.
On Tape Relay, Leigh is joined by regulars who appear to give us the lowdown on all things awesome, including:
+ Alistair Fitchett, preeminent indiepop guru, author, founder of Tangents webzine
+ John Encarnacao, music professor, musician and Crooked Tunes connoisseur
+ Lee Gillespie, well-traversed musician and our Texas-music specialist
Not from these parts? Then tune into Tape Relay online at 2ser.com. Not good with numbers? Then use timeanddate.com/worldclock/meeting to work out timezones. Complete luddite? Sorry, can't help ya there...
PODCASTS
Tape Relay has hopped on the Podomatic bandwagon. You're now able to hear past interviews and regulars' segments. Visit taperelay.podomatic.com to hear it all. If you're a Last.fm user, you can also hear full-length podcasts at last.fm/music/Tape+Relay.
Osmosis has also gone pod-crazy at osmosis.podomatic.com though the content will take a bit more time as I gots to dust off the archives. Tape Relay miscellany also lives on the Osmosis podomatic.
PLAYLISTS
All playlists can be found on this page in the blog section, but all of 2007's playlists are also conveniently archived as one page here.

Was that synchronicty or just Myspace - I sent you a friend req a day or so ago. Glad you've been digging the releases. I just sent the Ghost in the Water full length into the station and I I'll send the Bury the Sound EP next week if you like. Did I send the Beautiful Lunar Landscape EP or do you need a copy?
