What a strange vibe.

I am so disappointed that you'll no longer be able to dial up The R3-30 on Radio Two every Saturday night. For those of you whose only mode of catching us is terrestrial radio, you will be sincerely missed. Thank You for your ears and words over the past nine months. Given the amount (and ferocity) of some of the emails we've received, I know that you are pis...er...really angry.

But hey, at the very least, check out The R3-30 this Saturday night in its usual time slot because, for the first time ever, WE'LL BE LIVE and TAKING YOUR CALLS! To mark the exit from Radio 2, WE'LL BE GIVING AWAY ONE SIRIUS SATELLITE RADIO EVERY HOUR! All you have to do is be well-versed in R3-30 trivia. (Not that well-versed. The questions are pretty easy)

There will be some looks back at The R3-30 over the past 40+ years, and you'll hear some bloopers, too - including a memorable one from Pedro's first day on the job.

The R3-30 will remain on Sirius 94, on this blog, and I hope that you continue to support the podcast.

So, to paraphrase Magee, we now slip the "surly bonds of earth".

The chart follows:
