Podcast: Sept. 10, 2023 – Steel Belted Radio Reunion

Episode #1004

On September 11, 2003, my friends Gary Annable, Mike Neufeld, and Terry “T-Bar” Wilson and I launched a weekly radio show called Steel Belted (Free Range) Radio. In honour of the 20th anniversary of our debut, we managed to get 3/4 of the original hosting lineup back together for a joyful reunion. T-Bar and Gary joined me for some memories of the good old days, some new music, and lots of laughs. We also celebrated the recent 25th anniversary of the most incredible festival lineup ever assembled in this city, the World Next Door Festival, which was held Sept. 4-7, 1998. We heard from some of the artists booked that weekend, including many that I wish I had taken the time to go see.
