🧵Today marks the end of an era.

The very last #reggae special is broadcasted on @SRF. As an #offbeat-lover and fan of the show I rummaged through the archives to find some interesting data about the past 13 years. Guess who is played more than @bobmarley?

(2) The first #show aired on 07th July 2009. In the meantime there were 579 broadcasts 📡 in total, mostly with @LukeeLavaOnFire at the mic 🎙️, who occasionally pushed the wrong buttons 🎛️, but always offered interesting insights into #music & #culture.

🌿Alcoholic is not correct. Alcohol related/associated. More compassion toward patient. But what does #Ayurveda know abt compassion right? Need a herb 4 that.
🌿Specifically note the sentence bad mouthing scientific, conventional care. That's hw these #ayush #quacks survive.
