A YEAR IN "RADIO": De Neus Van God 2021 Highlights

A quick recap at some of this year's aventures at Radio Panik, with the world of Zoom opening up interview possibilities beyond our wildest imaginings and enough slacker-style freeform radio to keep us blabbing and sharing many a sick tune in spite of the global health sitush.

February 12: with De Haan
