“I found this show by listening to XPN, which broadcasts out of Philadelphia. I love the eclectic nature of the music, of never knowing what I’m going to hear next— it’s thrilling, haha! This show has introduced me to so many wonderful, “lost” songs — and I can’t help but think what a shame that...”Read full review »

“Soulful, swinging, smart & weird. Grooving to stuff I’ve deeply loved and almost forgotten & other treasures I didn’t know existed but can’t believe I’ve lived without. It’s like going to a magical garage sale of music. Much thanks for a great show.”

“Over the last many years, I have rarely failed to tune in to the WXPN broadcast 88.5 FM on Saturday nights. There is a library of his shows as Podcasts. So I can make any day feel like a Saturday by listening. All shows are a mix of genres, and you likely won’t know some of the artists but...”Read full review »
