The State of Steem Forums are taking a two week festive break, so it's back to Pennsif's Random Radio this Thursday.
As a one-off special I am doing a Look Back At 2018 show.
I've got some great guests coming to talk about their year on steem. Alongside the chat I'll be playing some of the best steemian music of the week from DSound.
To add a little twist to the show all the guests are going to be 'Steemian Couples'.
Already lined up to come on the show are @d-vine & @jeffleinwand from Germany, and @teamhumble & @dayleeo from midway across the Atlantic. They will be joined by a couple more guests still to be confirmed.
So if you fancy some interesting conversation, some 2018 reminiscences and some full-on groovy steemian music pop along from 8pm - 11pm UTC on Thursday on MSP Waves.
The takes place on the MSP Waves Discord channel, and you can also listen in via Vimm.TV and MSPWaves.com.
