Good Podcast Guide selects Chillcast

I should have posted this sooner, but better late than never! On November 14th, David McCandless wrote a glowing review of The Chillcast with Anji Bee for RadioTimes ongoing feature, The Good Podcast Guide. It reads, in part:

Sometimes late-night radio presenters are like those annoying neighbours who have their own taste in “music” turned up too loud. Other times – and these are the best times – it’s like having a cocktail of lovely tunes and honey poured directly into your ear. The Chillcast with Anji Bee is one such show, a collection of mellow dance music from both unsigned and commercial artists.

Anji is the lead singer with a chill-out band called the Lovespirals, and the musicality and silky smoothness of her voice is quite lovely – almost hypnotic. She serves up a weekly supper of late-night musical snacks that almost everyone can chill to. Well-chosen music, voice links that make you feel cosy inside – it all adds up to an essential weekly download. 

Also highlighted in this particular episode of the guide are Ricky Gervais (aka “The Podfather” – ha!), BBC Radio’s Mark Kermode, and the UK Wine Show. Not bad company to keep, I suppose.
