The Broken Cassette Player: Recent Episodes
Shred (Edward Jacobs)
It's a new music show (mostly) hosted by 20-year WBCN veteran dj Shred. We believe we need to keep moving forward with what we listen to and want to share our musical findings with as many folks as we possibly can, because we feel the bands we play should be more widely heard like it used to happen when a band was giving airplay on the local radio station. I come from that world and think we need to continue to push it for a bigger audience to enjoy and give these bands a lifeblood. Email us at teamshred@comcast.net for feedback. Thanks!

We at episode 101 are still the great so far as of yet found purveyor of new music that mostly goes unlistened, but is there whenever ears are available to put on the new music weekly podcast we do. I am Shred. I was on WBCN for a good 20-years having a good amount of fun, getting to be on the radio and entertain folks and now much later we have arrived here at our new media. This week, as we do it, hear new songs by heavy weights like The Cure, Momma, an unbelievable new single by Halsey, the mysterious Wesghost, and currently in a couple local colleges, Ava Della Pietra. All in a fantastic under 19 minute feeding dosage.

We are pushing this thing out each week to small returns, which is a true shame, considering how all over the map new music travels these days to arrive at ears to hear good songs. We try to go for 5 good songs you should hear each week, but no one apparently cares about listening to anything that isn't smacking them in the face. All good. We carry on. 5 songs/bands you should hear: Jack Kays, Drook, Blackstarkids, Anna Shoemaker and Vundabar are all worthy of your minutes. 17:37 for you to energize your soul.
