Woody Radio DJ Mike Show #91, 2/4/2020: Top 40 songs of 2019
On this Woody Radio exclusive show, I reveal my Top 40 songs of 2019. This happened a few days after my annual Twirlie Awards show over on Twirl Radio. We started the show with Juliana Hatfield’s first ever solo release. Not that she put it out in 2019–far from it, it came out back in…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #894 – 11/9/2019
Well, I’m back to trying to catch up with the backlog of Twirl Radio episodes to post online. On this episode, we take a rare breather from interviews, and just dig in and play some of the best music in my collection. But don’t worry, you’ll still get to hear my (hopefully) pithy commentary and…

Woody Radio DJ Mike Show #90, 1/28/2020
Not too long ago, I needed to fill up my car, so I stopped and got some expensive California gas. You know the kind–where you’re watching the numbers spin on the gas pump, and the price numbers spin about three times as fast as the gallon numbers. It’s kind of dizzying. With a few minutes…

Woody Radio DJ Mike Show #89, 1/21/2020
“So what happened this week?”, you might be asking yourself. Well, Super Tuesday happened. No, no, nothing to do with elections. Besides, that only comes once every four years, and who wants to wait that long? Here on Woody Radio, Super Tuesday happens each week, coincidentally, on Tuesdays. It’s the day where we have three…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #893 – 11/2/2019: Interview with Heazza!
On this show, we meet Heazza, a remarkable Chicago-based vocalist. Her given name is actually Heather Leonhardt, but I’ll let her tell you how she acquired the stage name Heazza–it’s kind of a fun story. But more importantly, her music. She has a wonderfully rich voice, full of drama and passion. And her songs–grown-up, cinematic,…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #892 – 10/26/2019: Interview with David Bash of the IPO music festival!
About a decade ago, I had David Bash on my show, in anticipation of the 2010 Liverpool edition of IPO. He is the founder and CEO of the IPO Music Festival (International Pop Overthrow). It was a good time, and I always thought I’d like to get him back on the show someday. Then earlier…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #890 – 9/21/2019
It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything about my Twirl Radio shows, due to various reasons. But let’s just say that I pretty much missed an entire autumn’s worth of shows, and I’m now starting to catch up. That doesn’t mean that I haven’t been doing any radio. On the contrary–I’ve still been doing…

WOODY RADIO DJ MIKE SHOW #81, 11/19/2019
I’m sitting here, writing this while ensconsed in the Thanksgiving holiday bubble–that spot where it’s warm inside the house, with family and food around. Football games play at low volume on TV, always in the background. And when you step outside, it’s cold and sunny. Okay, California cold–but still, that annual chill in the air…
