Week 1 of the PBS Radio Festival for 2006, the time of the year
when the station raises funds to stay on air through listener
memberships.  Big thanks to all the people who joined the PBS
family and did their part to keep reggae music on air in
Melbourne!

RASTA ANTHEMS:
Not all reggae music is Rasta music, and not all reggae artists 
are Rasta, but the two have always been associated since the 
international rise of Bob Marley.  In this show I ran through some of
the biggest Rasta anthems from the early days of Jamaican music, until now.
