So, the bad news first. As of June 30, I’ve been laid off from OPB. There will be a lot of things I miss about working there, and doing in-studio sessions with bands is near the top of the list. I’ve had the privilege of interviewing bands and artists I wouldn’t have had access to at KPSU, and Steven Kray, our audio engineer, made the recordings sound top-notch. Also, OPB was SUPER good in how they let me go, they gave me notice of Biblical proportions (that’s 40 days), and a karaoke send-off. I would definitely take them back, if or when our economy gets its head out of its arse.

In the meantime, there’s still a few sessions in the can that will be airing this summer. Two have been posted already:

and

opbmusic.org/performances/105-Padre-Pio

I’m in the process of determining the future of this podcast, I’ll post an announcement here as soon as I’m ready. If you’re reading this, you probably listen regularly and want more, thanks for that.

Peace!

And ANOTHER one!
