Note: I'm bringing back one from deep in the archives for a brief moment in the sun to thank a listener who was roaming the halls and spotted a little typo in the episode numbering.
This is a Thank You repost to acknowledge the help.
Several of the things we do here are legacies from the very beginning of the archive and the Iggy episode numbering is one of those little habits that cost more to break than to continue. I've long suspected that at some point we've gotten a bit off in keeping track of the actual number, but changing to the date format we've always used for Harmony In My Head is a task that grows ever more daunting, and frankly of such esoteric interest that if it ever comes to pass, it will be under the hyper-fixation of some future archivist.
Until then, thank you for the correction loyal listener and enjoy this Christmas special as an end-of-summer aperitif almost five years later.
All,
No new Iggy until 1 Jan, 2021.
Thanks to Steve for alerting me to Iggy's Christmas special. It was not listed in the usual spot on Radio 6's website.
