Episode #743

This weekend marks the anniversary of the first two Static Roots Festivals hosted by longtime friend and supporter of this program, Mr. Festival Director Dietmar Leibecke. We called to wish him a happy birthday and chat about this year’s festival, which is happening next month. We’ve got plenty of Static Roots artists, past and present, as well as some new (and some new-to-me) music, as well as some great requests and more!
