Technicolour Dreaming

It was the Radiothon ’14 edition of Technicolour Dreaming this week – chaos abounded with the phones ringing, the picking and organising of ‘bribe-to-subscribe’ giveaways, subscribers coming into the station, payments being made, volunteers running about and, unusually for us, lots of air-breaks and chatter and.... did I mention chaos? But it was all in a good cause – our annual Radiothon where we ask listeners to help keep us on-air by becoming valued 3D Radio subscribers! We won’t go into all the details – you can go to the 3D Radio website here and see how to pay [yes we do PayPal], the form to fill out, what you get for your bucks [including this year’s DepthCharge CD compilation which ONLY subscribers are given] and details of the major prizes you are in the running for when you do subscribe - all for the low price of $60.... it doesn’t matter if you live in Adelaide or Athens, the USA or Uruguay, anyone can be a 3D Radio subscriber and help us keep this unique music community radio station broadcasting every day of every week, and of course letting us, the Cat and the Brat, play all the wonderfully diverse psychedelia [and associated obscurities] that we love to share with you every Tuesday afternoon on this show. Normal broadcasting will resume next week of course [whew!] but in the meantime.... dig deep, go to the 3DRadio website and SUBSCRIBE people!
