Don’t Call It A Comeback, 20 March

Niall — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 18:48:34 +0000

Unfortunately, dear listeners, we have reached the end of the semester, which means the end of Don’t Call It A Comeback for the next few weeks. With this in mind, it was pretty necessary to try to go out on a high – so, I invited Lizzie Clark to join me this week, to see what she could add to the equation. The results were … emmmm … interesting, to say the least. Podcast and playlist are below for anyone who’d like to check it out. Spotify users might want to click here, who knows?

A rather different dynamic on Don’t Call It A Comeback this week, as I was joined by a very special guest co-anchor – Richard Lavelle sitting in on the mic this week, and seemingly determined to offend as many people as possible.
