Episode #985

What used to be pretty commonplace on this show has become all too rare, as we haven’t welcomed a live performer into the studio to chat and play some songs, I believe since Pledge-O-Rama, Oct. of 2019! What better way to get back in the swing of things than by welcoming the great Martyn Joseph back for another wide-ranging conversation and some terrific live songs! As if that weren’t enough, chauffeur to the stars and former UMFM co-host T-Bar was along for the ride. We also had time for a few new songs, including Record Store Day finds, and a Blair Packham birthday appreciation set!
