john peel show archives

Anyone who was a teenager between 1970 and 2000 would have listened at some point to the John Peel Show on Radio 1 of an evening. He was more than a DJ, he was a musical institution and someone who I trusted even though I never met the man. His shows were always welcoming, the music democratic with no genre ever getting overlooked and it was a joy to listen to him. You can now relive those moments with a massive archive of his shows online spanning nearly 40 years. I'm going to relive my early teens by taking my laptop to bed, pretending it's a transistor radio and listening to a show under my bed covers. I may be some time! Click the link here.
