How can I listen?
- Phantom Circuit is first heard on Beachy Head Radio. See BHR's schedule.
- A day or two after the first broadcast, Phantom Circuit is made available for on-demand listening on Beachy Head Radio's Mixcloud page.
- Past editions, since December 2022, can be heard there too.
- Older shows, from before December 2022, can be found on Phantom Circuit's Mixcloud page.
- Listen to the show of your choice via this site's Listen Now section, which also offers full playlists. Most of the streaming links will take you to Mixcloud.
How can I find out about new editions?
You can choose any or all of the following options.
- ✅ Follow Beachy Head Radio on Mixcloud to receive emails when new editions of Phantom Circuit and other shows on BHR (you will like them too) have been uploaded.
- ✅ This site announces new shows over its RSS feed.
- ❓ Social media platforms now seem to be intentionally difficult to use for communication, but I try to post notifications from the social media accounts listed on the home page.
Can I download the shows?
The simple answer is no. You can only stream them.
Mixcloud has a licensing arrangement with the performing right societies for streaming audio. After its initial broadcast, each edition of Phantom Circuit can be streamed on demand via Mixcloud, for free.
If you have a Mixcloud Premium account, you can transfer the audio to the Mixcloud app on your phone, for offline listening. So in that case, yes, you can download shows, but only for use within the app.
Beyond what is offered by being hosted on Mixcloud, Phantom Circuit is not provided as a podcast that can be downloaded. Truly downloadable podcasts require a different licensing arrangement so someone would have to pay for that. Streaming means that Phantom Circuit can bring you a wide range of music for free.
How can I send music?
There is a page just for you!
Will my music be played?
That's the aim. Sometimes though there is not enough time at present or the material just doesn't fit well, regardless of how good it may be. Every valid submission is listened to on its own merits, rather than who it is by, so some of your music releases may be included where others are not!
Making this show (on top of other activities in music and life) takes a lot of time and every effort has been made to state what is needed for co-operation. Submissions that don't meet the format requirements given on the Send Music page will be deleted without being listened to. Don't worry though, the requirements are commonplace and are given very concisely on that page. It's all been made as easy as possible for you!
