Count down to Christmas with our advent calendar

To mark the countdown to Christmas, we’re treating your ears to an audio advent calendar. 

Here at Radiocentre, we’ll be counting down with a look back at some of the year’s best moments from the airwaves. Every day between now and Christmas Eve, we’ll be opening a door on our #24DaysOfRadio advent calendar. Follow us on Twitter to hear the countdown, or listen to the audio below:
