I hope you don’t mind but these podcasts are not fully produced the way they would be if they were originally created for this format.  They are derived from raw recordings of the live radio broadcast which were sometimes compromised by equipment failures or the absence of a dedicated production staff.  This means that there might be more abrupt starts and stops than you may expect, missing content, etc.  You might also hear things like guests talking about upcoming gigs which, sadly, are no longer upcoming.

I hope that doesn’t distract you because there is a ton of great stuff to discover here, with more coming online all the time.   I have hundreds of hours of these broadcasts so they should be rolling out for some time to come.

If you like the show, please subscribe and rate it.   That will help others to discover the pleasures that you have found.
