    ANNOUNCEMENT - The Future of The First Ever Radio Hour

    Hello everyone:
    This is the end of The First Ever Radio Hour here on the main public feed. Sadly, I have been flagged one too many times for playing copyrighted material. I don't want to endanger the feed being pulled entirely.
    THE GOOD NEWS IS: If you feel you will miss the radio hours - I will still be doing them over on the Patreon where those aren't public. You'll be able to access every previous episode including all the patreon specfic episodes which are often themed or collaboritive. 
    You can subscribe for as little as $3 a month to get access plus a whole lot more.
    Thank you so much for your time. 
    Jeremy

Not a review, more praise

Jeremy is an encyclopedia of music and connections, and he uses that knowledge to create great dialogue with the musicians that have inspired him. Even when I don’t know who the guest is, I listen, learn and gain something. The radio hour is also a great way to find curated new music.

Awesome

Wonderful long form interviews, great questions, and very diverse guests in a myriad of creative mediums. Well done, Jeremy!

Rarely this stoked

Almost as excited about stumbling upon this podcast as I was to stumble upon Touché Amore.
Great insights, tons of positivity, and interesting points of view on the history, present, and future of the scene.
