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…

WOODY RADIO DJ MIKE SHOW #79, 10/29/2019
Well, another week, another varied show. This was our pre-Halloween show, so that means another track off The Taters now-legendary Halloween album, “Don’t Scream”. A couple of nights later, we played that entire album, cover to cover, while hanging out and passing out candy to trick-or-treaters. Such a cool record. But what other kinds of…

Well, it’s now fall, and I’m just now starting to put the finishing touches on the fun summer we had here at Twirl Radio. This episode was pretty exciting.

WOODY RADIO DJ MIKE SHOW #73, 9/10/2019
You know, I’ve been given three hours on Tuesday nights, in which to do whatever I please. Of course, that involves playing a whole lot of music. But I do tend to get motivated, aka, carried away. When planning for my shows, I usually hand select close to 80 songs. Trouble is, I’ve never gotten…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #888 – 9/7/2019: Interview with Christina Bulbenko and Rex Broome of Bir Stir Records!
The number “8” is the luckiest number in Chinese culture. And if you look above, today’s show was show #888–extra lucky! And it proved to be true. You might recognize today’s guests–Christina Bulbenko and Rex Broome of Big Stir Records, and The Armoires! They were just on my show a few weeks ago, when they…

WOODY RADIO DJ MIKE SHOW #72, 9/3/2019
First show of September. That means fall, changing leaves, cooler temperatures, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and pumpkin spice everything. Right? Well, um, not so fast there. This is Sacramento, and we have a Reverse Groundhog Day thing going on. The groundhog saw his shadow, so we’ll be getting six more weeks of summer. Okay, that really isn’t…
