Hey everybody! My name’s Greenberg and this is my podcast. It started as a radio show in 2003. In 2020, it phoenixed into a podcast, thanks to our friends at NRM Streamcast. If truth be told, the podcast is pretty much a glorified radio show. We play a lot of eclectic music (rest assured, we pay our yearly BMI/ASCAP fees), talk way too much about it, and sometimes invite other folks to talk with us about music & other things. We’re equally excited about music’s past, present and future, and we hope you are too.
