Podcast: December 27, 2015 – Holiday Marathon!

Episode #622

The annual university winter lockdown is in full swing, and most sensible show hosts stay home and spend time with loved ones and new toys. Good thing there’s nothing sensible about me!

This is another of our holiday marathons, this time largely filled with some of the best music released in 2015, but also featuring music from the genres covered in the shows that were pre-empted, so a little bit of jazz, movie soundtracks, blues, celtic, and even a little bit of hip-hop for good measure. We literally went from Miles Davis to Buck 65 and hit all stops in between!
