Nice Touch Editorial June 16, 2023
«NTS Radio is my support mechanism that helped me survive during the COVID time, relocate to Finland where I didn’t know anyone, and make new friends in Helsinki, with whom I share a common NTS Radio fanaticism, in a single conversation. This radio station helped me write my master’s thesis, apply for grants, and come to terms with unreceived funding. About a year ago, my friends and I learned that our favourite breakfast time DJ, Charlie Bones, who knew how to cheer up his audience in the mornings, even if he himself was grumpy, had left NTS Radio. We immediately dropped our work, met, and agreed in solidarity that this event marked the end of our lives. Luckily, he didn’t disappear completely and started his own radio station, Do!!You!!!»
