New Insanity Webstreams
Feb 15th
We’ve been working hard to bring you new, higher-quality and easily accessed web streams so you can listen online in your browser or any media player of choice on your desktop, laptop, MP3 player or mobile phone.
And after days of fixing things, we’re happy to announce that this is now available! You can find all the new listening options plus the link to the new player on the listen page.
We’ve also now got the schedule posted to the website, so you can see who is on right now or check out when your favourite shows will be playing.
If you encounter any problems with the new stream, please contact Florian Jensen. If you have a problem that relates to the website or links from the website, get in touch with James Harrison!
Happy listening!
