B-Side Radio

GroupAccount image

On vinyl albums, some of the best songs can be found on the flip side of the record - also known as the b-side. That's the idea behind B-Side. We tell stories you can't hear anywhere else on the dial. Each show is a unique radio experience, complete with stories and music that tie into a theme. B-Side was awarded a Silver Reel in the National Federation of Community Broadcasters 2003 Golden Reel Awards competition.
