Camp Cosmic 2019

It’s been a long time coming: One third of the Past Forward family is finally settling down in a new home far away from Berlin. First off, stay calm, this will neither put an end to the triad nor alter the continuity of the Past Forward in any way. However it’s the perfect opportunity to celebrate a “Farewell Non Farewell” special to say good bye in our native tongue. Tune in for a show full of German goodies obscurities.

-hosted in joined fashion by @menqui, @hendrik_stein and @kryptic_dj

The Past Forward radio show is hosted and aired on Cashmere Radio. Find more info and other episodes on the Cashmere Radio website - http://cashmereradio.com/shows/past-forward/
