  • Great host, atmosphere and music selection

    Been diving into Different Head starting with volume 1 (about 31 volumes at this time, finished five episodes so far). The host is great at keeping things personable with anecdotes about song selection. I'm new to new wave but I'm loving it so far. Going to keep this in the rotation!
