  • #60 - Netlabel Fall Release Showcase

  • #59 - September Soul
    Welcome to the first episode under the (latest) format change!  The theme for today's show is SOUL.  Specifically, soul music.  In the show, I ask the question - if Soul Music comes from the black American experience, can international artists capture that same vibe?  Find out on today's show!

  • #58 - The Weekly Airwaves Show
    A week late, and short on "new" content...but what are you going to do?  This show showcases the last three Weekly Airwaves aired on Audio Sensory Resuscitation (http://www.ckcufm.com), as well as three tracks from the Free Music Archive (http://www.freemusicarchive.org).

  • #57 - Last One For Summer
    Can you believe it?  We're already at the end of August!  The next podcast won't be until September!  Nothing special in the podcast today - nothing beyond great music, that is.  I also mention a few news updates about the podcast, so be sure to listen in.

  • #87.5 - Vacation'd

    Here's a quick podcast to tide you over!  I don't talk about very much - it's mostly about the music.


    I was able to push my way through the humidity and record a half episode today - no full episode for a while because SUMMER.  I've been busy between vacations and just being busy in general with summer time activities.  So here's a quick podcast to tide you over!  I don't talk about very much - it's mostly about the music.


    Don't forget to check out http://www.zencast.fm if you're interested in starting your own podcast, or are looking for a new podcast host!  It's an excellent service that hosts this very podcast.  You get full statistics, etc.  Right now it's free - go check it out!
    I also used Spreaker to record this episode, which is its own podcast platform.  I don't intend to use it long term for Alternative Airwaves (the quality just isn't right), but will be using it for another project I want to start up (which I will also use zencast.fm for!).
    The music (don't forget to check out the full Summer 2015 playlist from Jamendo!):
    1. Juanitos - Hola Hola Bossa Nova
    2. Loudog - Music
    3. David Amber ft. Devyn Rush - Gnarly
    4. Becays - Set You Free

  • #86 - Another Baseball Episode

    Inspired by another beautiful, sunny day and a 10th straight Blue Jays win (and a few hefeweizens), enjoy another episode full of great music and some baseball facts.  Unfortunately, there is still a general lack of songs about baseball in the Creative Commons world.  But there is no lack of awesome songs, and included among those are two cover songs!  Enjoy!
