Kaleidoscope is one of the ways that 5mbs links our station to the wider music community as well as looking further afield, from time to time, at local drama, art and literature. It is an important link to the wider listening audience as I talk with some very interesting people about what involves them most.
It is broadcast on Wednesday 6.pm or Saturday 11am.
In your own time you can access it through Listen on Demand via 5mbs.com.
