Martin Spencer, Mark Dezzani plus others. Radio Zodiac, Phoenix Radio, Alice's Restaurant Pt.2 : So, here we have the second part of Mark Wakelys chat with Mark Dezzani, Martin Spencer and Lawrie Hallett. We get through plenty, including talking about the contribution of some well known (and some not so well known) pirates, where, when, why and how some broadcasts took place and plenty of stories about some near misses with the authorities.

Martin Spencer, Mark Dezzani plus others. Radio Zodiac, Phoenix Radio, Alice's Restaurant Pt.1 : In the first part of this two part special, I get four old pirates in a studio and light the anorak touch paper and stand well back! In this four way conversation between Lawrie Hallett (Brian Marshall), Martin Spencer (Dave Lane), Mark Dezzani (Rodger Vosene) and me, Mark Wakely (Steve Justin). We talk about how we got into pirate radio and the first tentative steps into broadcasting and why we got involved in this illegal activity. There's plenty of radio talk and some insights into the beginnings of Radio Zodiac, Phoenix Radio and Alice's Restaurant. The second part of this epic will be out in two weeks.
