Episode 026 is the 26th broadcast of Community Garden Radio, first broadcast on Thursday 16th June 2022. It was hosted by Shaun Keaveny.

Pre-mix

The pre-mix began at 10am BST with the Endless Community Garden mixtape.

The show

a potentially hazardous and booze-drenched broadcast

This show fell during the same week as Shaun's 50th birthday, so all songs played were from his year of birth (1972). A lot of the songs played were suggested by listeners, but Shaun failed to make a note of who requested what. Clips of various well-wishers, some of whom had arranged for birthday shoutouts to Shaun on other national and local radio stations, were also played throughout the course of the show.
