"Most People Are DJs"
Host Mikel O.D. explains that "Most People Are DJs" is a show born of
frustration. "Traditional radio has gotten so bland," he claims, "that we
have all become DJs, programming our own music and mixes." With great indie
music and reviews from the fringes of pop culture, "Most People Are DJs" is
giving the indie/alternative music lover a 30-40 minute break from their
usual programming.
"Musicians Cooler"
This show is cool like a backstage pass. This is the show where musicians
come to hang out and chill out... to trade advice on everything from new
sounds to booking, gigging, technology, software, gear, and more -- host
Dave Jackson has created the place for independent artists, producers,
promoters and fans that want to get in on the inside of the music business.
"No Idle Frets"
If you love smooth guitar and hot hands, this show has your name on it.
Get an eclectic mix of jazz guitar music from 1930s, 1950s be-bop, and
electric guitar from the 1970s. Host Nick Carver brings over 30 years of
jazz listening and jazz guitar playing to his show, adding insight about
the artists and the history of jazz.
"Reaching for Lucidity"
Get that hard-driving American Rock mixed with the edginess of England's
prolific music scene. "Reaching for Lucidity's" Eban Crawford is an
American city boy stuck in small town rural England, mixing derisive
observational humor into a playlist that always includes the next big
podplay star.
"PodShow Radio"
Don't let the word "radio" fool you. This is the show that DJs dream they
could make. It's the best-of-the-best in Podsafe music from around the
world without the restrictions of program directors and vanilla playlists.
Host Brent Bradley tears up the PodSafe Music Network and introduces us to
the hottest new artists making moves on the podplay charts.
