It's been too long! I'm back with another reggae stonker of a podcast. If you've got a soundsystem nearby then plug in and play loud!

The final part of the ska special is here! And I've heard it's a goody. Real ska sounds out of Jamaica and just to put the podcasts into context a few 2Tone tunes are thrown in. Ska's influence is paramount. It gave Jamaican music an identity, which it still holds proudly. What I've learnt from Jamaican music is that no matter what you've got to dance to it! So, as always, strap on your dancing shoes and dance!

Well it seems the summer is kicking off with some pretty sunny days. So what better than a ska special to chillout in the sun with. Some like it hot but I like it ska! Rude boys and rude girls put on your skanking shoes for we're ska-ing west towards Jamaica and you better be ready for the next 40 minutes.

With spring in full swing and the summer creeping into view there's only one thing to do but prepare. Fortunately, this episode helps you do just that!
