As part of the promotional campaign for MASS, Sam and I are appearing on Radio Reverb tomorrow. You can tune in 97.2FM if you’re in Brighton, or online at http://www.radioreverb.com/index.php?id=listen.

I will be recording the show and uploading it here after the broadcast, if you can’t catch it live.
