So, I decided, a week or two too late perhaps, to make this a spotlight summer. What this means is, rather than our usual flow of brand new music, we would do pocket summaries of artists who've been putting out great work for some time and who've kept popping up in the show's playlists over the years. Nothing fancy, just fun. First up, Steven R. Smith. You can check out his bio and discography here at Worstward, which is also where the episode photo was 'borrowed' from. Enjoy.
