Podcast Description
is this music?’s podcasts have been a regular feature on radiomagnetic.com for several years now. Originating in shows on the RSL stations at Subcity and the Fallout electronica-based show for RadioMagnetic, these have evolved into a fortnightly round-up of music from the world over, which cover pretty much any genre of music. Well, as long as we like it!
