Radionigel Big news! We're happy to announce that beginning this weekend, the Alternative Classix podcast will be streaming on Radio Nigel, a popular 80's alternative/new wave online radio station.

Founded and operated by Steve West, a former on-air personality at San Diego's 91X radio, Radio Nigel has been one of our favorite Internet radio stations for several years now and we're thrilled to be a part of their program schedule. Alternative Classix will air on Radio Nigel Saturdays at 7pm CST and Sundays at 8pm CST. The podcast will now be available to listeners on Monday nights right here on the blog.

Many thanks to Hum Radio for streaming our show over the past few months. It's been a fun ride and we wish them all the best.
