As the season shifts and the holidays start to peek around the corner, there's this quiet pull toward home, whatever home means to you. Maybe it's a place. Maybe it's a person. Maybe it's a feeling that comes rushing back when the right song plays at the right moment. This playlist is a little love letter to that feeling. It's for the road trips back to familiar streets, the laughter in kitchens that have seen it all, and the friends who've become family over the years. It's for the ones we gather with and the ones we carry in our hearts. Carry Me Home by Red Hot Chili Peppers sets the tone; warm, wistful, hopeful. Then Come Together by Aerosmith reminds us what this time of year is really about: showing up for each other. Glad All Over (both The Dave Clark Five and The Verbs version, because why not? ) bring the joy, the rhythm of being surrounded by the people who just get you. Sweet Dreams (Maria Bello) adds a little mystery, Good Times by The Rolling Stones keeps the mood light, and Soul Kitchen by The Doors feels like a gathering spot for the soul. It all wraps up beautifully with The Book of Love by The Masked Marauders, a song that reminds us that no matter how much changes, love is still the story we keep coming back to. So pour a drink, call someone you miss, or just sit back and let the music carry you home.

We're shining the spotlight on our sound engineer extraordinaire, Howard Steele. Back in January 1977, Howard had not one, but two Top Ten hits—Leo Sayer's “You Make Me Feel Like Dancing” at #1 and Burton Cummings' (Guess Who) “Stand Tall” at #10. Howard shares some fantastic stories in this episode: ✨ How a nosy neighbor's complaint led him and Richard Perry to create the legendary Studio 55. ✨ Getting the call from Richard—“We're recording Manhattan Transfer, with Jim Keltner and Ringo Starr on dual drums.” His reaction? “Way cool!” ✨ The unforgettable moment when Richard called him up to the front desk… and handed him his very first Gold Record. Come listen as Howard takes us back to his incredible Top Ten days! And a big shoutout to the Self Storage Association on its fabulous 50th Anniversary Show—a Las Vegas–style celebration done right.
Live Conversation Spotlight: THE Jenny Bortman! On the first Saturday in August, we went live with the one and only Jenny Bortman, CIC — a dynamo, a blast to hang out with, and a business powerhouse. As President of Universal Insurance Programs, Jenny works across multiple industries beyond her self-storage sweet spot, giving UIP a unique and versatile underwriting edge. But Jenny's not all about insurance — she's got a romantic streak in her music taste! We built her playlist, “Jenny's Jewels,” featuring gems like Everything I Do (I Do It for You) by Bryan Adams, Layla by Eric Clapton, Raise Your Glass by Pink, and I Gotta Feeling by the Black Eyed Peas. Thanks to listeners in 3,000+ cities and 95 countries, we're gearing up to celebrate 8 years on September 24th! Check out Part 1 of the interview with Jenny here: https://lnkd.in/evQV8s6D
❄️ Alaska: Raw, Wild & Rockin'! ❄️ I just got back from a vacation in Alaska, and let me tell you—it's a place like no other. With only 800,000 people spread across 665,000 square miles, Alaska lives large, and so does its music! We put this week's show together inspired by its untamed beauty, cool people, and the wildlife that roams free.
Ricky Byrd's new song “Transistor Radio Childhood” stopped me in my tracks.
