It's really good that a volunteer is prepared to make up for the limitations of the RSGB, who don't really care that their previous provision was broken when they "improved" their web site. OK, so there's a spelling mistake in the word bulletin but at least the news is there for those who can't hear it over the air.
Apple Podcasts5Andy from RickhamUnited Kingdom13 years ago - Excellent podcast
Very good podcast. Is a reading of the weekly RSGB news GB2RS but in podcast format for those who can't listen to the station on the air
Apple Podcasts577QTUnited Kingdom13 years ago - Hit and Miss
Its a great shame but the GB2RS popcast isn't updated often enough for it to be worthwhile. If the RSGB would keep it updated rather than relying on a volunteer to do it.
