  • Essential Listening

    Jon Whitney’s excellent taste in music cannot be overestimated and we are so lucky that he provides this view into the more obscure side of lesser known artists. I’ve been listening for many years and I will do so as long as this important relic exists.

  • There’s nothing like it

    This is the best alternative music radio show available anywhere. You won’t hear what John Whitney offers us on his show on any other radio station, commercial or college, or podcast. Yes, the music presented can sometimes be challenging — and that’s why I listen.
