FILM NOIR ON THE RADIO

We have all seen those old black and white detective films-film noir - 'dark film'.You know the type-a world weary detective,a 'broad' with a heart of gold,whose man has 'done her wrong'somewhere along the way and the

crop of gangsters.It's usually night and full of dark shadows with lots of car chases and gunfire.
Here at the Radio Poplar Sound Archive we have amongst the recordings the radio versions of the above- with the likes of Philip Marlowe,Sam Spade and going back to the pale yellow gaslight and fog of Victorian London-Sherlock Holmes.
If you are a fan of this type of radio,then keep checking this blog as we run such series from time to time.

POLISH MUSIC ON RADIO POPLAR.

If you tune into ALLSORTS at 7pm on Thursday evenings with BILL and CHRIS you will have the chance to listen to music from POLAND,introduced by new member EMILE.
Having listened-in myself I believe it brings a whole new culture to our output and can reach out to the Polish community,who of some may feel isolated through a disabiltity,feel less isolated as family and friends within their community can send them a greeting through the programme.
Hopefully in the new year,Emile will be presenting his own programme of Polish music from his home country of Poland.I certainly look forward to 'listening-in' and I'm sure listeners out there will too.
