"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.
