Inspired by Peter Thomas, secretary of the Conservative Caucus, who expressed resentment about a pizza restaurant chain’s plan to give free pizza to customers who place their orders in Spanish, and was quoted as saying: “In public areas, people should be speaking English, and that includes pizza parlors” – DJ McSchmormac decided to do an entire show of pre-1951 recordings in languages OTHER than English!!!

JUMPIN’ AT THE RECORD SHOP  (Slim Gaillard)

Due to sound problems throughout most of the original 10am broadcast, DJ McSchmormac felt compelled to return to the studio six hours later to re-do the entire show so the week’s podcast would sound as fantastic as possible! Now that’s dedication!

Easter Sunday’s edition certainly won’t disappoint fans of DJ McSchmormac’s “unflawlessness” – with recordings dating 1906-1950 from at least three continents, some Dylan Thomas for National Poetry Month, and a gentle plug for the forthcoming Radio Valencia Silent Movie Night!
