We kick off season five with a long-overdue episode on singer-songwriter Laura Nyro.

2023/08/08

Sound artist and former WFMU DJ Samantha Simmons is our guest as we finally feature a record by "The Boss."

Lauren Raham returns to the podcast with a copy of the self-titled debut from English-American rock band the Pretenders.

Co-host Jeremy takes us into the whimsical world of British psychedelic folk act the Incredible String Band. While their earlier, more celebrated work tends to be priced higher, this 1971 album is generally priced very affordably.

2023/06/13

Taylor Rowley returns to help us shine the spotlight on multimedia artist Yoko Ono. Known to the general public for her wildly experimental music and art in association with her late husband John Lennon, this album finds Yoko processing her grief in the immediate aftermath of his death.
