We talk collaboration, the challenge of theatre and

No guest today, but Station Manager “They Call Him” Tim joins me and we muse about memories of Nirvana, the notion of curated music in an age of information overload as the answer to why vinyl is so popular, and the international, instantaneous nature of all forms of music (which defeats ageism).
