Insomnia Radio: Turkey (English Version)

It is been a little longer than I would like since the previous episode but life interfered and we could not get it done earlier. However, as always we have some great music lined up for you. In this 3rd episode I am joined by Hande again. We had a nice time recording and listening to the songs and had some conversation in between which we thought was nice As we did in the previous episode we translated the band and song names and this time we tried to translate the meaning of the song as well:

Next Episode

IR Turkey #4: The One Which is “The Bomb” (English)

Hi everyone, the 4th episode of IR Turkey is here. You know what, we need to find a name for you IR Turkey fans. It is becoming lame to say “Hi everyone”. How would you like to be called?

In this episode, I am unfortunately alone, all by myself. It is the end of semester here and Hande has loads of stuff to finish and she could not spare time for the recording. We decided that I do the show alone this time since we did not want to give too much of a break. As I was being silly I forgot to mention this at the begining of the episode but I am sure you figured it out that I was alone, right?

A message to Hande’s fans: “Don’t worry she will be back in the next episode!”

I think this episode has a killer playlist and it is why I call this episode is the bomb.
