It's gotten to the point where I almost look forward to the beginning of the week, just so I'll be able to listen to this show, and there's always at least one song (and often more) that I'll play...”Read full review »

“I have been listening to this show since it started. An incredible achievement to put out 111 excellent collections of folk, roots and acoustic music. I particularly love that I can download each of them onto my iPod and they take up very little memory, yet I can listen as many times as I like....”Read full review »

“Great to find Mike's podcast on the net. We miss the old folk club type show on Radio 2
Suppose its progress but not everything needs updating especially traditional folk music.”

“So glad I found the podcasts & the website! Radio 2 has been lacking that certain something on a Wednesday evening for too long. Mark Radcliffe is OK but let's face it he can never match the legend that is Mike Harding!
Keep up the good work Mike”
