*IMPORTANT*

I am unable to publish this episode of Aige Old Radio on MixCloud. Here is the explanation:

Mixcloud is a licensed Internet radio service and has agreements with various collecting societies around the world. Royalties are paid to collecting societies, who in turn pay out to the appropriate labels and artists based on their individual recording and publishing deals.

In America Mixcloud has blanket music licences with SoundExchange, ASCAP, BMI & SESAC. These licences stipulate certain rules around the content you can upload to Mixcloud:

- Cloudcasts cannot have more than 4 tracks by an artist (or more than 3 consecutively)
​- Cloudcasts cannot have more than 3 tracks from an album (or more than 2 consecutively)

If the same artist name is listed more than 4 times in the tracklist that the uploader submits, it will automatically be flagged.

Ironically, I'd JUST learned about this policy in a music class I'd taken in college and should have known better. So, if you're interested in hearing this episode, I encourage you to head over to Spreaker to do so--and if you'd like to hear the episode in the future, please download it! Thank you so much for your support.
