PODCAST

Random Song Encounters

The idea is presenting a weekly random playlist of songs with commentary, and no specific ties to decade, genre, popularity, or anything else. Mostly from the world of rock and pop, but occasionally venturing into other musical genres when the urge strikes. Something to keep me occupied and out of trouble… Hosted on Acast.
