Defend Cleveland Podcast Michael James

All terrestrial segments were recorded and aired live on WRUW-FM 91.1 Cleveland on Monday, June 20th, 2016, the morning following the Cleveland Cavaliers and LeBron James winning the NBA Championship. This classic of all classic Defend Cleveland episodes only ever aired live on WRUW that fateful Monday morning and hasn't been aired or posted again since in any form, until now... Talk about time machine travel!
Enjoy this ride down Defend Cleveland memory lane~

 Your last ever recommended listening is a far too obscure 90's underground rock gem and a Mike James all-time fave, the full length "Doomsday Rock" by Brother JT & Vibrolux released in 1996 on Siltbreeze (for the CD only pressing) and also on Bedlam (for the vinyl only edition with the Jesus and B-17 Bombers album cover, y'all!)...SO GREAT!
