Em Burrows one of the original presenters from way back on her last edition of The Golden Apples of the Sun

It has been a joy and a privilege to share music and connect with listeners on @rtrfm for nearly 10 years! Yesterday was a bittersweet day as I presented my final @goldenapplesofthesunradioshow before I move to Berlin in August. I shared some new stuff and lots of favourites. You can restream the show/check out the playlist on the RTR website (navigate to the program grid).

Thanks to @claudemono for having me as part of the GA collective all these years. Super grateful for all of it. (…and Claude says a bigger thankyou right back at you Em Burrows!!)
