  • Love it !.. so great to not have to decide which album or a " mix " my own Playlist.. very cool to hear songs I've never heard from my favorite genre and decade ( early 80s especially) of music.. There were so many great songs that would be lost or never heard again if not for this excellent podcast .. I'm a painter and I listen to these all day.. makes the day go a lot easier.. I am extremely grateful for this podcast!!

  • Brilliant monthly podcast with a lively mix of classics, remixes and more. A new equally great 90s podcast was established but seems to have disappeared after 4 episodes.
