Phil T returns for his final Drive Time show before a six-day holiday, wrapping up a lively and nostalgic session filled with classic tracks, listener dedications, and playful banter. The episode features a mix of 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s hits, including requests from John and Paulette, Tara, Ken, Margaret, and others, with special tributes to Phil’s late wife Sheila and the upcoming concert of The Real Thing. Amid technical glitches and humorous asides, Phil engages with listeners, shares personal anecdotes about his upcoming trip with Tara, and reflects on his journey with Big L Radio. The show culminates in a reveal of the 'beat-the-intro' competition winner, Finders Keepers by Chairman of the Board, followed by a heartfelt farewell and a final track from Focus’s 'Tommy'.
