On 16th March 1968, Otis Redding became the first person in U.S. chart history to have a posthumous number-one single (having recorded Sittin' On The Dock of The Bay 3 days before his death in a plane crash the previous December).

We therefore honour him by making him this Monday's #ArtistOfTheWeek.....

We will be also having a rather chunky #ThemeOfTheWeek on #Freedom because... well, why not!

Lot's of the other features and some other groovy tunes besides....

Well - this #ThemeOfThe Week will be a load of songs about why #war is a bad idea, cos some people seem to have forgotten!

Also, as there is a new joint album out from Dub Pistols and The Freestylers we will be doing The Freestylers as #artistoftheweek.

There will be #CoversCorner, #TheHornSection and more!

the Phat Planet show, we will be marking the passing of #OG and laitin music supremo Willie Colón by making him #ArtistOfTheWeek - playing a selection of his finest Nuyorican grooves, and a selection of the massive amount of fantastic tunes that sampled him....

Plus!!! A special #ThemeOfTheWeek on Green to celebrate last week's ray of hope before everything went to shit again!

Plus a load of the usual features....

Phat Planet show is going to feature DJ Dubious playing some tunes he likes! There will be a load of new tunes and a few old tunes, there will be #CoversCorner, #TheHornSection (featuring new tunes from @renegadebrassband and Riot Jazz Brass Band, there will be som elovely 90s throwback stuff, an uptothe minute #BoxOfBangers....

It will be great as usual! (or at least entirely #adequate for yourself.

.It's the Phat Planet show with DJ Dubious on The Hub - Reading's bestest, if not only, community radio station.....

Following the death of Sly Dunbar the other week, this week's Phat Planet show will be a two hour tribute to the total reggae legend who spent a lot of time being one half of rythmn powerhouse Sly and Robbie....

But given than he is described as "probably the most recorded drummer in history, DJ Dubious will be casting the net wide and showcasing not just some reggae classics, but also loads of other stuff where, often suprising, artists couldn't resist getting a bit of his groove!

Having been to see the totally excellent play/sound system type thing "THE SOUND" at South Street Arts Centre on Saturday, this week'a Phat Planet show will be a Roots and Dub Spectaular.... with @DJ Dubious playing a whole show of tunes he used to listen to growing up in the Reading area in the 80s....

If there is one thing you can be certain of, it is that this week's Phat Planet #ThemeOfTheWeek is going to be #CHANGE....

Looks like there is a lot of it already here, or on its way....

Continuing our gentle(ish) lowkey(ish) January, the season of hibernation brings a Phat Planet show special with 100% of tuneage related to sleep!
