Podcast: February 1, 2026: 2016 Memories

Episode #1122

Jeff Robson, Dietmar Leibecke, Leeroy Stagger in Germany, June 10, 2016

New music & festival confirmations & dreams to start, then we play the 2016 game by looking back 10 years to a time when life seemed a little more simple and hopeful. I don’t know how or where this 2016 trend started, but it was a good opportunity to look back at a very busy year with some real highlights. On today’s show, we looked at highlights of shows & festivals, at least one disappointment, a few I couldn’t attend, and a few that I can’t believe I missed out on.
