    This weeks SHOUT OUT goes to Mad Music Radio

    Mad Music Radio is a small cluster of five internet-only non-commercial radio stations bringing you fantastic music 24 hours a day. They also publish stories at least twice a week on the Patreon, Substack and the Medium platforms. Mad Music Radio, tunes and tales too good to be ignored.

    I like that you get a few options to choose from. They have blues, rock, oldies, The Dead and Jazz stations. Whoever does the programing for this has a great ear, I love the diversity and the way they play cuts so deep I would call them lost.

Love this!

I listened to the Little Steven episode about his book Unrequited Infatuations. I loved the "set" format of the show where the host breaks down the show into sections or sets. The first being the overall review and then following up with his recommendations for both big fans of the artist and more casual fans about whether the book or documentary would be for them. I would fall into the casual fan category for Little Steven and found the review of
his book really interesting without giving away too much . I definitely want to read the book after listening to the podcast. And I absolutely will be listening to other episodes of Rock Talk Studio.
