1991 was a watershed year in popular music and in my life.  In today's episode we share some of the artists and songs that made the year so special.

This week we cherrypick a few great blues tracks as well as a couple that are merely "bluesy".  Enjoy.

Another listener suggested Episode this week.  I take a look back at the career of R.E.M. with some of my personal favourite tracks.  Enjoy.

So in this weeks episode we do something a little different.  Spurred on by a listener challenge I lay out a dozen songs that changed my musical life.  It's by no means comprehensive and it's a little bit rambling but I hope you like it.  I had a ton of fun doing this week's podcast. Enjoy.

Inspired by the documentary Mapping Creativity, we explore some truly creative artists in todays episode.

We're back after a little vacation with a new episode.  Enjoy!

Today we celebrate the One Hit Wonder. Sunday September 25th is National One Hit Wonder Day so let's give them a little credit. Enjoy.

In this weeks episode I talk about 5 of the best opening acts I've ever seen. The qualifications? I had to have never heard of them before I saw them live, and they had to be amazing. Some of these acts were never heard of again and others....well others became legends. Enjoy.

Episode 9 is our first listener requested theme show. It's another cover show but this time its all instrumental covers of rock songs. Enjoy, and thanks to loyal listener Dustin for the suggestion.

Hey friends, here's episode 8 (even though I called it 7 in the 'cast) of Radio Bomb. I delve deep into my library to hopefully deliver some tracks you're not familiar with. Enjoy.

This week we recap this years Edmonton Fringe Festival and here where I found inspiration in it.

This week we look at the tighter than you might imagine relationship between books and music.

So this week we take a quick look at some of the best British political pop. Inspired and horrified by what's going on right now all over the UK, it got me to thinking about how British artists seem to almost effortlessly combine searing political commentary with killer beats and riffs. This podcast is in no way meant to be comprehensive or even complete. I just wanted to share some good music that was speaking to me tonight. We'll be back to regularly scheduled programming next week. Thanks for listening. ps. If you ever want to give me feedback you can email me: jeffdwoodward@gmail.com Tweet me: @jeffdwoodward
