One of the many pleasures of the current Why Pink Floyd remaster and collectors edition box set programme is the way that, wherever you turn, Pink Floyd are back in the press, on TV, or on the radio. It's about time!

Earlier this week, Nick Mason was interviewed on US satellite station XM/Sirius channel 26 'Classic Vinyl', on Thursday September 27th at 12 noon EST, and this hour long show can be heard via Youtube through the following links: part one, part two, part three, and part four.

Also, this time in the UK, Nick was on BBC Radio 4's Loose Ends on Monday. For those who missed this, you can still hear the interview with him, and the sneak preview of the Stephane Grappeli guest appearance on Wish You Were Here, via the BBC iPlayer service in selected countries. Our thanks to Jason Pyke and Kevin Whitlock for the info on this one.

This coming week doesn't let up on the Floyd front, and the BBC in the UK have scheduled a large amount of coverage, beginning tomorrow on BBC Radio 2, and peaking Friday night on BBC6 Music where their Pink Floyd Night runs from 7pm, right through to 4am the following morning! Here's the full schedule of what's coming up:

Just published is the latest issue (number 19) of the Pink Floyd fanzine "Heyou" run by our friends over at the Italian website of the same name.

The 52-page magazine in Italian and English includes plenty of news from the last six months or so; there's a look at the Why Pink Floyd release programme, including SuperDeluxeEdition's interview with Andy Jackson, and Spinner's interview with Nick Mason. Author Russell Beecher is interviewed concerning his rather wonderful "Barrett" book. There's also a transcript of Werner Haider's interview with David Gilmour from September 2008 The final third of the magazine is taken up with an indepth look - illustrated with a number of photos - at the Milan 2011 stop-off for Roger Waters on his The Wall Live tour.

This past Wednesday evening (September 28th) another noteworthy New York City Pink Floyd event took place during Nick Mason's week-long stay here. Nick is in NYC on a mini-promotional tour in support of the extensive catalogue reissue, remastered and rarities programme, titled Why Pink Floyd? And, as we've all been reading, he seems to be having a rather good time with it! Nick is in full campaign mode making himself readily available to the press, radio stations, and late-night TV talk shows for interviews and Q & A sessions.

Q104.3 FM (WAXQ), New York City's premiere classic rock radio station, hosted what was billed as "An Intimate Evening With Pink Floyd's Nick Mason, Featuring Highlights From The Brand-New The Dark Side Of The Moon Immersion Box Set", at the P.C. Richard & Son Theater located in Tribeca. Included in the evening's festivities was a Q&A session with Mason followed by the screening of the Immersion set's unearthed footage.

This weekend, over 80 US radio stations (many who stream online worldwide) will air Off The Record with Joe Benson featuring the music of Pink Floyd. The show features Joe's brand new conversation with drummer Nick Mason. Stories from old friends about the joy of creating music — with lots of laughs in the telling, from what we hear!

Those who have heard other Off The Record's know that the show is always a good, entertaining listen - well worth tuning in. More information about the Off The Record shows, participating radio stations across the US, and Joe Benson's other exploits, can be found at unclejoe.com. For a sneak preview of the show, click here.
