Greetings, one and all. Preparations are at an advanced stage for this week's show (see pic), so why not set aside two hours of your Wednesday night for some much-needed emotional and spiritual rejuvenation?

By which I mean please listen to The Offbeat Hour on Boston’s 107 Endeavour FM.

The fun starts just after the news at 7pm and continues in its own haphazard yet strangely endearing manner for approximately 2 hours.

There will be, in no order especially, bulletins from our overseas correspondents, a trip in the Offbeat Hour Time Machine back to 1977, and more good music than you could shake a wet ferret at (should you be so minded).

The offbeat Hour – premium listening for the terminally jaded.

Herein you will find Halloween bulletins from Guru Boris and Rory B Jampickle, a right pearler of a trip in the time machine, discussions regarding chocolate, Doctor Who, and Johnny's accountant, and the smorgasbord of musical excellence that you have, quite rightly, come to expect.
