I happened on Saturday morning to hear the end of TTN, before the beginning of Tearjerker. Normally, John Shea would sign off by announcing the last TTN item before Breakfast. There was no transition announcement - so presumably he was not told about losing the last two hours of TTN before he recorded the links for his three-week stint.
Let's wait and see this Saturday whether anybody remembered to tell Catriona.

Originally posted by Serial_Apologist View PostI inadvertently had my first experience of Tearjerker yesterday morning, when I woke up to Radio 3 - it being the station I am tuned at low volume to right through the night. What I seemed to be hearing was an adolescent self-accompanying in some kind of pop tune on piano, concluding with a sort of sub-Einaudi "cadenza" then segueing into a sort of rambling "piano concerto" with odd bits of e.g. Puccini in - a kind of mixtape I guess, with no organic continuity, just a featureless ramble. At some point a young woman came on to tell me they were offering me soothing music, or something. After about 15 minutes of this I switched over to Radio 4 for Toady. I guess this is the future for those of us who sleep with the radio on for TTN on Friday nights.
