This episode was intended for release back in January, but was delayed several times, for which I apologize.
The episode's length is due in part to the samples of each song in the chart countdowns. To listen to a shortened version of the episode without the song samples, listen to the episode on YouTube here (link to be added later).

Apologies: This episode was recorded toward the beginning of the Coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic back, and to keep us socially distanced and simultaneously test remote recording quality, Ray's audio was recorded over a video call, hence the lower quality of his microphone.
In our fifteenth episode, Ray and RJ discuss: The Blue Collar Comedy Tour & Grand Rapids' annual LaughFest event, cancellations of and changes to events and shows due to the pandemic, Brad & Kimberley Paisley's Instagram & Facebook livestream concert, The Grand Ole Opry, the 2020 ACM Awards, and new music the week of 3/19/2020.

Intro, outro, and commercial break music by RJ Moore

Howdy! Welcome to this very special episode of the Cedar Country podcast, where we talk about country music! Hosted by Ray and RJ from the Dungeons and Dragons podcast, "Realms & Nerds"!
On this episode of the show, we had the absolute pleasure of interviewing up-and-coming country music artist Daniel Borge, who is gearing up to release his next single, "Time", releasing tomorrow, Friday, May 28, 2021!
From the song's press release: "...“Time” tells a thought-provoking and relatable story of a narrator experiencing regret and wanting to go back in time. Borge and Branch put a clever spin on the concept, personifying “time” as a man that the narrator wishes he could reason with to turn the back the clock... The mid-tempo country track features modern, radio-ready production as well as a melody that evokes nostalgia. “Time” also highlights Borge’s rich voice and ability to convey emotions with his vocal delivery. Borge said his feelings about this past year inspired him to write the song with Branch. He explained, “I believe the lyrics are especially relatable because of the pandemic. We ́ve all had a lot of extra time to think and reflect on life and the choices we’ve made in the past...”“Time” follows Borge’s previous singles, “There I Was” and “Room 208,” all three of which Borge plans to include in his upcoming album, due out later this year."
Apologies for the audio balance issues during the interview. RJ accidentally had the volume settings reversed, so Daniel may be a little hard to hear at points. This is definitely something we'll fix for any other interviews we may have on the show.
We had a wonderful time interviewing Daniel on the show, and think that this song is definitely worth your time! We'd also love to hear it get played on the radio. Let your local country stations know about the song! Help it rise on the streaming charts as well!
