Japan3 years ago - Simply the Best

I dearly miss Beardo, but Spinner has done an awe inspiring job of keeping this show running after such a tragic loss. In a way he has ... more

Canada3 years ago - Great new and old music. A must for Blues lovers.
A great way to hear all the new releases.
Apple Podcasts5Rex StoutUnited States4 years ago - Stick to the music
Wish you could stick to the music and the artists and not wallow in the mud of political ignorance. Too many other options available where hosts ensure the music and artists are a priority so listeners may find new musicians and enjoy potentially unknown tunes from known artists.
