The Offbeat Hour on Boston's 107 Endeavour FM

14/10/2026

YES this is late, but also YES there is a show tonight and, I tell ya what mush, it's gonna be a good'un (trust me, I've seen the playlist). Bulletins from our universally lauded overseas correspondents, a trip in the Time Machine, a brief return of the "Not Guilty, Your Honour" feature, and much, much, MUCH more besides (probably).

So, if you're up for two hours of music, from to and many points between, join Kev and Johnny tonight at 7pm on Boston’s 107 Endeavour FM.

The Offbeat Hour - give the music pinata another wack, Colonel.

ANNOUNCEMENT

Apologies if you have tried to listen to this only to discover that there were only 40-odd minutes of a two-hour show waiting for you. This has now been rectified and the person responsible has been disciplined accordingly. We would also like to advertise a position in the Offbeat team as our new admin bod, the previous incumbent having come over all dead and that.

Johnny

The upgrade work at Endeavour Towers continues apace, but sadly not apace enough to bring you a show tonight. We are tremendously grateful for all the work that is being carried out to improve the studio and thereby your listening experience, and we are sorry that our beloved listeners (and you *are* beloved) will have to wait a little longer before we return.

It'll be worth it. Don't give up on us, babies x
