Aaron's Radio Show: Recent Episodes

Aaron Gobler

Almost live from Berkeley, California; it's Aaron's Radio Show (AaronsRadio.show); an hour of memorable music and future favorites!

I'll be creating a new episode about once a week, or so. Some episodes will be a collection of a dozen songs that hold certain meaning for me, or are real favorites that I hope will become your favorites, too! Other episodes will include interviews with listeners who'll share their favorites, and tell me why the songs have meaning to them.

You're encouraged to comment on episodes, including telling us why you liked (or disliked) certain songs. Also, I'd be thrilled to receive audio recordings of members talking about their favorite song, and I'll make every effort to include their spoken intro, and the song, in a future episode!

Please invite others to listen, and please check out the website at AaronsRadio.show, where you'll find all episodes.

About Me
I've been enjoying music since I was an infant in the cradle and I distinctly recall the music I heard at age 5 when I listened to WFIL 560 AM in Philadelphia. I've been an avid music collector of 45's, then LPs, dance remix 12"s, and MP3 files for as long as I've had money to spend on them! I've disc jockeyed at parties, and at bars, and am thrilled to bring my passion and excitement about music to you through my radio show podcast.
