I'm listening live in Halifax, the Secret HIstory isnt on at the moment. Do you know when syndication might happen out here? Anywhere where I can listen asap?

http://www.989thedrive.com right now.

I'm listening to boom 97.3 right now, and I'm not hearing the show. :( Am I missing something...?

[Liane]

p.s. Thank you, Ian!

Same here, I am streaming it on 98.9 but there is an 80's show on Boom 97.3 right now. WTF?

[Marc]

Any plans to release these shows via podcast? Just curious since streaming them over the internet on these radio stations... well none of the airing times fit my schedule and I'd really like to hear these shows. Thanks in advance!

@oldsouthkyle, and other Alan Cross fans/Boom 97.3 listeners: I emailed the programming contact at Boom 97.3, here's his response.

"We are still working out some details with the show and have put it on at 10pm tonight. The regular time slot for it will be Sundays at 6pm. When we get it where we want it "musically" we will advertise it's time. We are hope that will be next Sunday."

Thanks Liane!

Listening to it on Boom now. (10pm)

I second the request for a podcast version. Website streaming is great, but podcasting eliminates timezones and appointments...

Any chance this will be linked to a podcast?

Great hits from the pasts influences much the future musicians nowadays.
Bands like The Beatles have many similarities with present boy bands.
