Take It Personal Radio

On November 2, 2016 The "Take It Personal" Podcast was launched as the Golden Era and boom-bap-focused podcast to beat all Podcasts. Broadcasting all the way live from Del Boca Vista and brought to you by the Philaflava, DJ 360, Kevlar, A-Aron & Roger the Announcer. The show and its brand of witty nuance and authentic reverence is here to fill the nostalgia void in your heart, and, as Chino XL once said, "Here To Save You All." www.takeitpersonalradio.com

2025/03/18

On Episode 138, we're paying respects to our late friend and longtime supporter of Take It Personal, Matt "Barkley" Temchatin.

Barkley unexpectedly passed away a few months ago, so we wanted to honor him with our last episode of 2023. Barkley, like myself, started out doing college radio but his love for hip-hop only grew as he got older. He went on to run a record store and
