Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #850 – 11/10/2018: Woody Radio in-studio meetup with DJ Gidget Marusak and Stephen “Spaz” Schnee!
Well, we weren’t going to let the 850th episode of Twirl Radio go unnoticed. And yet, I kind of did. But for good reason. It turned out to be such a big day, that I simply did not have time to mention that this was show #850. My good friend, and sister in radio, Gidget…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #849 – 11/3/2018
Today’s show was the perfect storm–or maybe–non-storm. For the first time in a while, I had no interviews or visitors scheduled. You’d have to go back as far as July 21st for the last time this happened. But today also was a day in which I had a chance to really focus on all the…

WOODY RADIO DJ MIKE SHOW #36, 10/30/2018
This week’s show was fun. Wait–I think I said that about last week’s show too. I had listeners marveling at how, um, “diverse” the music was tonight. We really did have some sets of music, right out of the gate, that kept us all on our toes. Just that first full set–between new addition to…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #848 – 10/27/2018: Interview with Rachel Taylor Brown!
On today’s show, we got to meet Portland’s Rachel Taylor Brown. She just released her tenth album, “Run Tiny Human”, and it’s really good, but hard to classify. My Windows Media Player software helpfully describes it as “Contemporary Pop”. Well, I don’t know about all that. She doesn’t sound anything like Rihanna, Taylor Swift, Kendrick…

WOODY RADIO DJ MIKE SHOW #35, 10/23/2018
Ok, this weeks show–my 35th show on Woody Radio–was a fun one. The technical glitches from the previous week seemed to be fixed, and any goofups were strictly my own. And yes, I do put a couple of mistakes into each and every show, so that you know a real human being is running things…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #847 – 10/20/2018: Interview with Eric Kern and John Ratts of Vegas With Randolph!
Vegas With Randolph is a band that we’ve championed on Twirl Radio for a long time–pretty much this entire decade. They’re a hard working bunch of musicians from the greater Washington, D.C. area, who’ve released three exciting albums, and are about to release their fourth, “Legs & Luggage”, which might be their most rockin’ and…

WOODY RADIO DJ MIKE SHOW #34, 10/16/2018
Some weeks are tougher than others. It seems like I’ve been plagued by little technical difficulties all week, and one big one. Unfortunately, the big one happened right in the middle of this week’s show! About halfway through, my broadcast computer suddenly went dead. Kaput. Fini. So I simply rebooted it, and soldiered on, picking…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #846 – 10/13/2018: Live in-studio visit with Anton Barbeau and Julia Boorinakis Harper!
Well, Anton Barbeau is back visiting his hometown of Sacramento, from Berlin. And that means a Twirl Radio in-studio visit! Don’t get me wrong–I don’t take this for granted. Honestly–it never gets old. I just count myself lucky that he’s back, and here to chat music. So he and Julia came and spent over an…

WOODY RADIO DJ MIKE SHOW #33, 10/9/2018
This week’s show was an exercise in variety and eclecticism–if that’s an actual word. Okay–I just looked it up, and it turns out that “eclecticism” is indeed a real word. So there’s that. We played a bunch of songs from all over the rock ‘n’ roll spectrum. Each week, right after DJ Mac plays the…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #845 – 10/6/2018: Interview doubleheader: Christian Havins and Linda Beecroft of Dallas Acid, and Rich Hope!
Now this is what I would call a diverse show. We hadn’t done a doubleheader of interviews in a while, and the two artists we interviewed couldn’t be more dissimilar. And the variety is a good thing! In the first hour, we met Christian Havins and Linda Beecroft, of ambient trio Dallas Acid (interestingly enough,…
