Okay back podcasting again
I did a 3 hour tribute to James Brown a couple of days after he died in 2006. I also did a proper documentary on the radio last year. Here is one of the hours of the original tribute, with many of the hip-hop acts who sampled him thrown for good measure. It was rushed but it's still good enough-or should i say bad............Superbad!
