It’s all about the music, in 180 minutes of new wave, indie, rock, soul, vintage classics, interviews, and many other fine things. Magnus Shaw is your host, and the entire playlist is hand-picked.
The second hour takes its playlist from the pre-1979 era, and is called ’The Vintage Hour’. The third hour is solid, lean, continuous and compelling songs, named ’The Wall Of Sound’.
Features throughout include: ’Twin Peaks’ (not the TV show), the ’Midget Gem’ (not the sweet), and 'Soul Traders' (not the tax status). Oh, and the 'Bowie Guarantee'. A new episode is available for streaming and download at around 10.00pm UK every Thursday. This is free for all listeners.
The show is also available on smart speakers by saying "Alexa open no more heroes"
NO MORE HEROES is also heard on more than 80 FM, DAB and online radio stations worldwide and is available for syndication. Just write to: mail@magnusshaw.co.uk for more details, as this is often free for quality non-profit radio stations (particularly on FM, AM, and DAB).
