Today’s broadcast is  C1E71 for Theme Thursday, January 26th, 2023. Today marks the precise 10yr anniversary of the launch of Nerd Noise Radio as a social media VGM aggregator service (podcast came along four years later), and to celebrate the occasion, today's episode features music we shared on social media and YouTube prior to the launch of the show, which had until now never appeared on the show – on a program we're calling "The Wonder Years"
