RaW Folk and Swine Flu: Important Information

To reassure any listeners who might be concerned about the impact of the international global porcine swine flu influenza epidemic pandemic upon RaW's broadcasting capabilities or scheduling conventions, I can confirm that, at this stage, RaW Folk has not been cancelled and will broadcast as usual at 19:00 this Saturday.

Troubleshooting
If your radio or web player output sounds muffled, this could be because:
a) the DJ is wearing a face mask
b) you are wearing your own mask incorrectly (should cover mouth and nose)
c) your home personal desktop PC computer has contracted the swine flu virus, probably from contaminated drugs spam. Phone the National Health NHS Direct or the PC Computer World.

Please try to remain calm.
