Great, thank you! Looks like Mark decided to punch those, who loves Spotify, becasue this time 2 tracks are not on Spotify! It happend only twice before and here twice more in a single episode. So far just 4 tracks are missing from the playlist and it's good for me, don't know about you.

A great jazzy start, then Mark did something I can't understand — playing songs from the albums he played before, as if we haven't listened to the whole album already. Come on, Mark

It's like he ran out of ideas, lol. Facebook MK account says that yesterday chapter was penultimate episode, so, just once left, at least from season one. No idea if there would be a season two, but, I rather have him recording new songs instead!

[quizzaciously]

I can’t believe that 24 shows will be the end of things. Considering Mark stated in a couple of those, that he has tons more to share, that’s certainly not too much to share. I think yes, they would take a break and then resume with episodes, that’s how I see it anyway. And remember that each episode is just 5-7 minutes of Mark talking on average, so it’s not too hard to do for him.

[Jules]

Well, in 24 episodes he had repeated many artists and sometimes of the same record, so I won't bet there would be more. If he had really so much music, there is no need to repeat artists so many times...

I have a collection of about 3,000 songs, of which I would play on the radio show, if I had one, about 500. Mark, at 71, I think has like 30,000 songs on his jukebox, he lives for so long and he is in the business for so long that I think he can go on with this show forever. The fact that he played so many repeat apperances and similar folk pieces is just because he really likes it...

Hovewer, when I was putting my own playlist I thought I would not pick several tracks from one album, if that album is not a freaking masterpiece. Because that would be boring for me, let alone for the listener. But Mark is the boss, no complaints here.

For now it seems like 24th is going to be the last episode, which upsets the hell out of me. I hope this is really like one of these shows that says "Here's the final episode" and later go out saying "Hey, welcome to the second season". But honestly, the show is so underrated and ignored by fans, that it might as well come to an end. So many people I know who either don't care about Broadcast at all or don't know about it. So I wouldn't be surprised.

[KnopfleRick]

Don`t be so strict with him! It`s fine with me when Mark feels like playing another song of an album he loves.
Mostly there is more than one great song on an album and it`s hard to just pick one. This time he again picked a lot of brilliant songs.
I really hope that it wont take too long until he will return with this radio show.
Honestly, he can play a whole album for me and I would enjoy it.

Yeah, but he has like just 10 spots for the episode, the real estate price is very high there

Repeat apperances, to me, is like a wasted space, but Mark of course thinks about people who may not heard previous episodes and is trying to bring his favourite artist to the table again and again, I can perfectly understand that.

Exactly. And I don't understand why. If someone doesn't like music, I understand. But the way Mark tells the story of rock n roll. It recalls the history of DS. Recordings with friends is fascinating and very important to me.
Thanks to these programs, I know more about MK. And I want more!

Because Mark underestimates how underestimated he really is. In my circle people know about MK just because I'm in it. If not that, nobody would care... In the grand scheme of things, obviously, Mark's show is interesting to die-hards basically. And there's not so many die-hards. We tend think there are many die-hards, but statistically speaking it's nothing. So naturally, not a lot of people tunes into Mark's programme.

Me, hovewer, I'm interested in new music, I'm just hungry for it, so the programme really speaks to me. I'm drunk right now so bear with me

[Robson]

I completely agree with you.

The show is underrated and ignored by fans because the biggest percertage of MK fans are located in Europe, and this show is being broadcasted in a North American paid radio channel... Many fans don't know a thing about the existence of this show, and the ones that know about it, most of them can't listen to it because it's being broadcasted in a kind of martian weird radio that they can't listen, and a very little amount of fans had the luck to belong here, and thanks to Binone who does his magic, can listen to the show...

[KnopfleRick]

I absolutely agreed with you. That's exactly how it is and nothing else. Just remember his very successful last tour. He still is the man and the magic is still there. The fans still love him. It's a shame the radio show is not available here in Europe. And yes, we are lucky ones here on AMIT to be able to listen to the show, thanks to binone!

From Guy's forum:

A: That’s it as far as I am aware.

Yes, that was quite a bizarre journey, I can't remember consuming so much of a pirated content since my school days. So, I guess, if that's it, I should expand Spotify playlist with ALL the songs Mark mentioned, and that's a lot. This will be something of an interesting playlist at least. I thought it's going to have hundreds and hundreds of titles, and not like just 250.

[KnopfleRick]

This news ist VERY disappointing for me.
