Sunday, August 15, 2010 by Bill Everatt.

This is Bill Everatt, with news about the Celtica Radio Underground Edition, Receivable Worldwide, On-line, On Digital Wireless and on the Nokia Mobile Phone Network.

And in this update: -

Bills special guest is Ryan Helman live in the studio.  In Urban Legends Robbie Peterson reads the tale of the Great Wall of China.  We’ve got another particularly interesting episode of the Chronicles of Little Bibbling under Flossock…  All is not quite what it seems.

And in our “who said this?”  I’d like to know who said this;  “The instinct of nearly all societies is to lock up anybody who is truly free. First, society begins by trying to beat you up. If this fails, they try to poison you. If this fails too, they finish by loading honours on your head.”  So, who do you think said that?  I’ll give you the answer at the end of the show.

Music wise, we have tracks from; Hayley Griffiths, Amsterdam, Aaron English, Melanie Jean, Trysette and Zeros to Heros.

Playlist files;
Reverend Zen - Don’t Try To Tell Me
Zeros To Heros - They Drove Me To It
Belasco - Something Between Us
Remy De Laroque - Where We’re From
Trysette - Good Day
Rosie Ribbons - Laws of Attraction

And in our who said this?  we’d like to know who said this; “It may be that the old astrologers had the truth exactly reversed, when they believed that the stars controlled the destinies of men. The time may come when men control the destinies of stars.”  The answer is at the end of the show.
