The DJ Pod Cast: A New Chapter
Today, we hang up the jersey of the best 18-month old podcast in Chicago about music that features guests in a live setting with full-length music played and that had copious amounts of copyright infringements, but never got caught because no one listened to it and, even if they did, so what -- we're not making any money and, if anything, we are helping get the word out about your band, but in reality, no one actually cares because, again, no one was listening in the first place, but if you were listening THANK YOU + WE LOVE YOU :-)
