BLB Sounds From The Past
This series takes listeners through the incredible history of a community radio station formerly based in Bray, County Wicklow, Ireland which was launched in 1979. The station began as a pirate radio operation, challenging conventional broadcasting norms and setting the stage for global innovation in community radio. The series, told from the perspective of one of its founders, Mark Quinn, provides a deeply personal account of the station’s journey and its profound impact on everyone who was in its orbit.

Hi Mark. Siobhán Ní Bhuachalla here. Absolutely love the podcast. Some of my happiest memories are of my time with BLB, reading the news on JJ’s show. Doing the TWF show with the kids from the Summer Project. I’m only into episode one so far but am hoping that you will cover the big snow of 1982 and how very important BLB was during that week to keep people connected and send important messages in the days before cell phones. Hoping you will do more than 5 eps. It brings me right back.
