WOODY RADIO DJ MIKE SHOW #48, 2/26/2019
You know how some shows, in an effort to be dramatic, save the “good songs” for right before the commercial break, or for the end of the show? Not me. I played only good songs on last night’s show. You see, at Woody Radio, we have no commercial breaks, and on Tuesday nights, I have…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #863 – 2/23/2019: Cole Guerra of I Am Casting interview!
On this week’s show, we met North Carolina-based Cole Guerra. He’s the main man behind I Am Casting, a jazzy project, which is the perfect combination of experimental, floating melodies and pointed, topical lyrics. After more than a decade off from making music, Cole, a psychologist, returned to the studio. Interestingly enough, he creates the…

WOODY RADIO DJ MIKE SHOW #47, 2/19/2019
Another Tuesday night, and another DJ Mike “Show With No Name”. During the show, I mused about the show, which shall remain nameless–literally–having no name. But that’s part of the charm. I purposely didn’t name this show. I’ve named my other radio shows in the past, giving them names such as “Twirl”, or “The California…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #862 – 2/16/2019: In-studio interviews with Gail George, and with Eric Blakely of The Bottle Kids!
Radio magic. It happened this weekend. I was fortunate to have two amazing, wonderful, friendly musical guests visiting me in person, in the Twirl studios. They both traveled a long way to get here, so it was one of those days where all musical roads lead to Sacramento. Sacramento native, singer-songwriter Gail George, was visiting…

WOODY RADIO DJ MIKE SHOW #46, 2/12/2019
Rain? Check. Wind gusts? Check. Tortilla chips? Check. I had all of those things at the ready when I started my show this week. It was 45 degrees at show time–and by the end of the show, it warmed UP to 47. That’s pretty strange for a nighttime, winter radio show, but if nothing else,…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #861 – 2/9/2019
You know, 2019 started off with a bang. Weeks of live radio interviews, and then last week, the Twirlie Awards show, with all of its attendant hoopla. So I thought this week might be an opporunity to play catch up. The music waits for no one–new releases have been coming in nearly every day, and…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #859 – 1/26/2019: Louis Michot interview!
Louis Michot is a busy guy. The Louisiana-based Cajun musician has been a bit hard to get ahold of lately, because he’s constantly touring and gigging with several bands, including the Lost Bayou Ramblers, which he co-founded, and the spinoff Michot’s Melody Makers. But we finally pinned him down for a bit, and I had…

WOODY RADIO DJ MIKE SHOW #44, 1/22/2019
We are in mid-winter limbo here in the US. This past rainy Sunday, I had NFL football conference championship playoffs on the TV for 7 mind-numbing hours. I had the volume down. I just felt like returning to those days of my youth, when I followed every sport there is. Nowadays, I just don’t have…
