The totallyradio 'beta' player is here! We'd love to hear what you think - particularly if you're running a browser or operating system that struggles with our current set up.

This isn't the full replacement for our trusty old website just yet as we're just testing things out so please get in touch via the 'feedback' link on the new player.

An all new website and radio player with access to a vast twelve year archive is on the way... stay tuned.
