In regard to Bioneers, Roy , the host of SOMETHING’S HAPPENING with Roy Of Hollywood said “I have wanted to be able to play this material for many years. Among my audience are some movers and shakers and I’ve long wanted to expose them to these great speakers. Too much environmental programming is disaster news which isn’t entirely unrealistic but as you know, isn’t comprehensive nor helpful.”
