There is no H4M this coming Sunday, due to a schedule change.
The next one will be on July 7th.

Then, we will be looking at musicals which feature Elections, Politicians, and Parliament (for some reason).

In the meantime, for your H4M fix, you can visit Maritime Radio's LISTEN AGAIN feature, on the website, where you can hear a few weeks worth of shows.
Additionally, a lot of my shows are on Mixcloud.

Links to both, below.
