Baxie talks with legendary record executive Harold Bronson from Rhino Records! Harold talks about his amazing career. First, as a young writer from UCLA's Daily Bruin and Rolling Stone Magazine to co-owning one of the most respected independent record companies in America. Rhino was a company that began in the early 1970's that began specializing in releasing reissued music. But the Rhino's story goes much deeper than that. Harold is currently promoting the music of his band, Morgan David and His Whinos. This was a band that he started in high school with several friends--all of whom would become true heavyweights in the music industry. After releasing several singles (before the start of Rhino Records), their music is being republished for the first time in nearly 50 years! The album is called "Savage Young Whinos". And the story behind that, Harold's career, (both as a record executive and as a writer) is just incredible! Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and on the Rock102 app!

Baxie talks with singer/songwriter Janet Devlin. This is a truly amazing conversation with a woman who has gone from being a 16-year-old girl from Northern Ireland to being thrust into the national spotlight as an X Factor finalist. And if her story stopped there it would still be a hell of a story. But Janet's story is MUCH more than that. Instead, Janet has battled alcohol abuse, and eating disorder, and mental illness—only to come out on the other side healthier and stronger than ever before. In 2023 she produced a powerful documentary entitled “Janet Devlin: Young Female and Addicted”. She's also just released an expanded, deluxe edition of her 2024 album “Not My First Emotional Rodeo”. It's a MUST listen to interview! Listen on Apple, YouTube, Spotify, and on the Rock102 app! Brought to you by Metro Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Chicopee
