Pete Sayek's Podcast

It was a big crowd for a special Memorial Day show this week, where (as we like to do) we feature songs that at were Number One on the charts on Memorial Day Weekend in the past throughout the program. We also have our usual stuff for you, including a new Top 5 at 10, some Beatles Anniversary Spotlights, your wonderful requests, and a myriad of musical memories to make your mind merry. As always, there's some musical birthdays on tap, including some of my personal favorites - AND we look ahead to another summer of The Pete Sayek Program on the horizon. And as we always do, we take some time to remember all those that have given all to keep us free and make these sorts of shenanigans possible, in memory of the many.

It was yet another dark and stormy Wednesday night here at the studio, and that always makes things a little dicey - but thankfully, despite the power going on and off before the show, we had smooth sailing during the program portion of the evening! It was another swingin' affair, with a lively crowd and some lovely sounds, some great requests AND the usual fun features: a brand new Top 5 at 10, some memorable musical birthdays and more of the Revolver sessions in our Beatles Anniversary Spotlight. We've even got some blocks of Billy Joel to mark his 77th birthday (5/9) and a whole lot more good stuff! So let us be your musical umbrella, and remember - don't stand under a tree when you see any large electrostatic discharges. Enjoy!

Hooray, hooray, it's finally May - and The Pete Sayek Program is here today! This week, we celebrate all the Moms out there with some Mother's Day music and memories (thanks, Moms!). We've also got some belated Cinco de Mayo celebrations to whet your whistle, a myriad of majestic musical birthdays to commemorate, a bunch of YOUR great requests, a grand Top 5 at 10, and the Revolver sessions continue in our Beatles Anniversary Spotlight. We also salute the legendary Harry Lillis "Bing" Crosby's 123rd Birthday (5/3). So for all you awesome Moms (and Mothers-In-Law like mine), it's a special musical bouquet, arranged just for you (and everyone else, too). Enjoy!

We're closing out the month of April in fine style this week (now we get to see if those April showers REALLY bring May flowers) with a splendiferous boffo edition of The Pete Sayek Procedure! Despite some early technical issues, the joint was jumpin' and the music was swingin' as we brought forth an evening of fine selections and merry measures. There's a new Top 5 at 10 that is sure to delight, some great requests that will make you feel right, some 'connect-the-dots' birthdays that might confuse, and more Revolver sessions in the Beatles Anniversary Spotlight that are sure to amuse. We even remembered to celebrate Roy Orbison's birthday (4/23) at the twelfth hour, so it's a grand recipe for fun and frivolity! Here's hoping you will listen and enjoy as April bids a fond adieu - and dig it, too!

There's lots to unwrap on this week's edition of The Pete Sayek Program - once you get past the bow and pretty paper, we've got another smashing shebang of a show for you, one that was hopping from start to finish! Of course, we have all our usual fun features for you, with a new Top 5 at 10 and more sounds from the Revolver sessions in our Beatles Anniversary Spotlight. We also spin some fine musical memories to celebrate the birthdays of names like Glen Campbell, Dusty Springfield and Henry Mancini (along with many others). of course, we've got YOUR great requests and truckloads of fun to carry the day - crank up the volume and set phasers on 'enjoy'!

This week on The Program, we bring you our annual Tax Day Relief Show, which this year just happens to fall ON Tax Day (so no worries about being penalized for late listening)! We can't bulk up your refund, but we CAN ease your burden with some soothing sounds from the magical music library. In addition to the tuneful testimonials to the wonderful world of legalized theft, we've got a brandy new edition of the Top 5 at 10 for you, plus all of YOUR great requests, more sounds of the Revolver sessions in the Beatles Anniversary Spotlight and bask in the glow of the faux summer that has come to the northeast. It's another jam-packed four hours of fun on a not-so-fun day. Put the calculator away, turn up the sounds - and relax. Enjoy!

It's quite a busy week here on The Pete Sayek Program - we've got plenty of great music (of course), astronauts coming back from The Moon, a HISTORIC edition of the Top 5 at 10 and tons more to keep you warm on a chilly spring night! We celebrate the birthday of the legendary Marvin Gaye (4/2) throughout the show, and an exciting edition of the Beatles Anniversary Spotlight as the Fab Four return to the studio to begin sessions for their next album, Revolver. And we somehow made it through four hours despite a calliope stomach situation. It's a night of thrills, spills and chills on The Big Show, stand back and enjoy!

There's no fooling around on our April Fool's Day Show (which, conveniently, actually fell on April 1st!), just great music for everybody - and I'm not fooling! Naturally, that's the theme of this week's show - but we also have some pre-Easter selections to enjoy, plus some appropriate sounds for the Artemis II crew, and a whole lot more. There's a new Top 5 at 10, some of YOUR fine requests, and a Paul-centric Beatles Anniversary Spotlight for good measure. It's like a basket full of sweet sounds, and no April 1st tricks - just treats. Enjoy!
