Radio Rental is truly a fresh new way to listen to stories that are both new and exciting.
The host is brilliant, the music is amazing and suits the atmospheric feel to the retrospective 80's vibe of the show.
Then you get the totally riveting first hand accounts of strange and scary stories.
Keep up the good work team.
