A new year, a new spin-off podcast for Dynamite Hemorrhage Radio. This one’s gonna stick! It’s got the smarmy title of ADULT LISTENING. The whole idea behind this program stems from a lifetime of music collecting and accumulation that spans a dozen different genres, none of which fits all that well together – but baby, we’re going to make it work.

I want this show to focus on everything from instrumental guitar to 78rpm records from 1920s Greece to R&B to Cambodian pop to rocksteady to deep country & blues, African, and whatever else I think we all should listen to together. Mostly older, but some newer. All phenomenal music for adults to enjoy.
