I wish I could say I have vivid memories of 1986, but I really don’t. Look, it was the year after I graduated from college, and life was a party. I was working in a record store during the day at night I was a club DJ. Quite often the club followed me to the home I shared with a couple of friends with similar lifestyles. I do remember the music, though, and tonight’s show celebrates the soundtrack of that glorious year. What surprised me as I was preparing this show, though, is that this was a year where roots rock dominated my life. Sure, there was plenty of traditional punk and alternative music, too, and that will probably be the focus of a sequel, but jangly guitars seemed to the be the sound of the times for me. What was your favorite record of 1986? For more info, including setlists, head to http://scotthudson.blogspot.com

In this Sunday Service, Co-Pastor Ezekiel Perez explores the themes of temptation, testing, and the significance of understanding one's rights as a believer. He draws parallels between the historical context of America, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights, emphasizing the importance of knowing one's rights in both a civic and spiritual sense. The discussion delves into the nature of temptation, particularly as exemplified in the life of Jesus, and the struggles individuals face in their daily lives. Co-Pastor encourages listeners to recognize their purpose and the importance of enduring suffering as part of their faith journey. In this message, Co-Pastor Perez explores the themes of faith, trust, and the challenges of spiritual warfare. He emphasizes the importance of worshiping God genuinely rather than out of convenience, the necessity of trusting in the Lord through life's uncertainties, and the mental battles that arise in the face of adversity. Co-Pastor also discusses the weight of responsibility in ministry, the preparation for significant life challenges, and the importance of living with purpose. He encourages listeners to hold on to their faith and to procrastinate on giving up, reminding them that their lives impact others.Co-Pastor Ezekiel Perez | July 12, 2026The Fountain Apostolic ChurchSOW (2026)Learn more at tfachurch.com/plus

Before we get to a description of this week’s episode, I received a wonderful notification earlier this week that this show had hit #31 on MillionPodcast’s Best 100 Midwestern Music Podcast chart! Wow! This is quite an honor.  If I’m going to be honest, I believe it’s these monthly new release episodes that have helped get this sort of attention. What other radio show features around four hours of new releases each and every month? Tonight’s show, like volume one last week, may be a little shorter from a typical episode but it’s jam packed with wonderful tunes. As usual, there’s a set devoted to our friends at Rum Bar Records, including Songs From The Film, the new project of Chazz Matthews of the Cheap Cassettes. The Amplifier Heads once again hit it out of the park, and how can I not love the Paul Westerberg-ish tones of Tad Overbaugh’s “July” (plus it features Dave Minehan). Elsewhere, there’s a twofer from a debut album by Taxi Girls that’s definitely bound to hit my top ten of the year. There’s the return of The Bobby Lees, a couple of fabulous Bob Dylan covers from an upcoming Jem Records tribute to the legend, and […]

Next, Jerry speaks with Brian Lilley from the Toronto Sun about Prime Minister Carney’s trip to Halifax for a submarine announcement ahead of the NATO summit. “No comment” is becoming a problem.

It’s that time of the month once again! It’s another set of new release episodes, and this one includes a lot of familiar faces. There are the usual submissions by the likes of Numb Surprise, Phil Cook & the Fall Dogs, Ricky Rochelle, and others, but there’s also some great covers from The Routes and the latest Drunk Dial Records’ Fake series. There’s also strong new stuff from Jon Spencer, The Jukeez, and The Paranoyds, along with a wonderful compilation of bands playing this month’s Punk Rock Raduno festival in Italy.  But I’m especially happy to once again premiere some new local music. Off Contact’s new album, Cab You?, is set to be released in a few weeks, and this Sioux Falls-based post-punk outfit deserves plenty of attention. I also have a couple of tracks from Chicago’s Trash Kickers, who I highlighted last week as my favorite new record of the month. I can’t wait for the vinyl version to be released later this year. What’s your favorite new release? For more info, including setlists, head to http://scotthudson.blogspot.com

Amanda Reyes and Daniel Budnik joined me for a fascinating conversation inspired by the Soap Operas in Popular Culture Conference and their presentation, Daytime After Dark: Exploring the Relationship Between the Daytime Drama and the Primetime Made-for-TV Movie.Together, we looked at the surprising connection between daytime soap operas and the primetime TV movie boom of the 1970s, '80s, and '90s. Amanda and Dan shared how soap stars regularly crossed into made-for-TV movies, why networks embraced these actors in primetime projects, and how these films became major television events for audiences across the country.We also discussed their love of soap operas, the origins of The Made-For-TV Mayhem Show, and some of the most memorable TV movies of the era.As a special surprise, Colleen Zenk joined us to share memories of appearing in Woman on the Ledge alongside Deidre Hall and Leslie Charleson, and she also looked back at her memorable role as Binky in the cult classic Christmas Evil.If you love soap operas, television history, pop culture nostalgia, and behind-the-scenes stories, this is an episode you will not want to miss.

With tonight’s show the final episode of June, it’s time to look back at the new music released over the past quarter year. These three months have been simply fantastic. There’s been followups to records that were at the top or near the top of previous year end lists (The Sleeveens, Memo PST, The Bevis Frond, etc.) There’s surprise albums by veteran bands (Eddy Current Suppression System, Natural Child). There’s the returns of longtime fave bands (Social Distortion, Oddfellows, High On Stress, etc.)  And there’s plenty of brand new bands, including a kickass Chicago group, Trash Kickers, that I just discovered a few days ago. What’s especially great is that these 40 albums are just a fraction of the fine tunes that have been released in recent weeks. What’s your favorite album of the last quarter?  For more info, including setlists, head to http://scotthudson.blogspot.com

A little over two years ago, I put together a show based only on songs released on the ten inch EP format. I’m still wondering why there aren’t more ten inchers released these days. It’s the perfect format for the EP’s that waste way too much space on most twelve inch releases.  Anyway, since that previous show, I’ve not only acquired a few more of these type of records, but I’ve expanded my knowledge of the format. For new titles, there’s the live Replacements EP that accompanied preorders of the box set reissue of Let It Be. There’s also a couple of Streetwalkin’ Cheetahs EPs, and a reissue by The Delmonas.  For older titles, I must give a bit of praise to my record collecting geek friend Phil. Over the years, he’s handed me a few titles that he knew that I’d enjoy. One of those was a record by a 90s band called Speedway. As I was looking at it the other day, I was pleasantly shocked to see that this was an early band by Miss Georgia Peach! I definitely needed to air a couple of tracks off that. Phil also alerted me to a various artists ten […]

Click to Subscribe: https://bit.ly/Youtube-Subscribe-SoapDirt Bold and the Beautiful spoilers for the upcoming week reveal an emotional rollercoaster for Hope Logan (Annika Noelle), who is on the verge of backing out of her deal at Logan. In a surprising turn of events, Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) emerges as her rock, offering her the needed reassurance. However, the tension between Hope and her mother Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) escalates, with Brooke's demands at Logan and her assumptions about Hope's career choice adding to the turmoil.  B&B spoilers suggest that Hope's apprehensions about Brooke's reaction and the fear of ruining their mother-daughter relationship heighten. While Hope finds support in her brother Deke Sharpe (Harrison Cone) and her uncle Bill Spencer (Don Diamont), she also has to deal with the pressure from Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye).  Spoilers for Bold and Beautiful indicate that Brooke, worried about losing their name, accuses Katie Logan (Heather Tom) of stealing from Forrester Creations. A shocking revelation awaits Brooke, who is oblivious to the fact that the person Katie has "stolen" is none other than her own daughter, Hope.  More B&B spoilers hint that the tension between Hope and Steffy, along with Ridge's frequent siding with Steffy, fuels Hope's decision to stick with Logan. This week, the emotional turmoil reaches its peak for Hope, who finds herself torn between not wanting to hurt Brooke and doing what she believes is best for her career.  Bold and Beautiful spoilers divulge that Hope may face serious doubts and consider backing out. However, it's expected that with reassurances from Liam, Katie, Bill, and Deke, she might decide to go ahead with her career at Logan, setting the stage for a major confrontation with Brooke.  The Soap Dirt podcast has made the Top 100 List for Apple Podcasts in the Entertainment News Category.

The second part of the monthly new release series is generally dominated by the latest records Malibu Lou has put out on his legendary Rum Bar Records label. This month is no different, and it’s a perfect kick off to over two hours of great new tunes. The Hollywood Stars, The Amplifier Heads, Stop Calling Me Frank, Gene Champagne and Girl With a Hawk are this month’s Rum Bar representatives, and they’re all fabulous. There’s also a sampler of tunes from the lastest Dam-Nations compilation series. The rest of the show is a battle of sorts between veterans and noobs.

On the “noob” side, there are acts sucks as Irked, Taxi Girls, Cable TV, Hoaxxers, and so many more that once again proves there will always be great new rock and roll bands!

I have long described the contents of the first episode of my monthly new release series as “friends of the show” Well, that is more true than usual this month. Yes, there are the usual suspects (Numb Surprise, Phil Cook & the Fall Dogs, etc.) but there is also the debut single from an upcoming album by my hometown friends Off Contact. “Heart and Mind” is the first look at Can You?, their third album, and you can expect to hear more off that album as the summer progresses. Besides those tracks, there is a set devoted to a cool concept record called Pets Sounds, an album of songs about…well, pets! There’s a sneak peak at an upcoming Jesse Malin tribute record, and tunes from two of my favorite new releases of the past month – Memo PST and The Lemon Twigs. Plus, lots of other power pop, garage rock, and some good ol’ rock and roll! What’s your favorite track from this week’s episode?

In the days following last month’s Record Store Day extravaganza I spent hours digitizing a number of titles I purchased that day. I also went through my archives to grab tracks from the many reissues that came out. A couple of weeks later, I was all set to do a show based on this work. Unfortunately (for the show at least), I had a last minute family function to attend, so I had to set that folder aside for a future episode. Well, the future is now. In my eyes, it was a great Record Store Day as there were plenty of rarities that I was excited to add to my collection. And as I don’t go after the pop titles that so many are standing in line to find these days, I was pretty successful in my efforts. There’s a shelved album by power pop maestro Tommy Keene. There’s a live album by The Muffs. Soul Jazz Records has another fabulous compilation. There’s expanded editions of a ton of classic albums. There’s something here for everyone. Well, everyone who has taste. What was your favorite Record Store Day release? For more info, including setlists, head to http://scotthudson.blogspot.com

With this being a holiday weekend, I was determined to do a very listener-friendly “fun” episode. Of course, when I say listener-friendly, I’m not talking about the sort of nonsense on commercial radio. Not, what that means for The Ledge is the sort of legendary bands and songs that all Ledge listeners enjoy…or should. The actual theme came together this past Sunday when I was listening to the first Stiff Little Fingers album, Inflammable Material. It was at that moment that I decided that I was only going to listen to debut albums this week. That idea naturally transformed into a theme for tonight’s show. There’s nothing but the first full-length releases of 70’s punk rock bands. These are primarily records that impacted me in a way that few records of the next 45 years would. From that first Ramones album that arrived at my house when I was suffering from the chicken pox through not only the true legends of that era to a record I purchased simply because I loved that the band was called The Drones. Obviously, this is a theme that I will return to quite often in the next few months. I mean, come on, […]

The “covers” folder is full. Overfull, to be honest. So tonight’s show is a supersized show of great remakes, and many of them are quite surprising. The Tubs covering Metallica? Social Distortion doing Chris Isaak? White Fence remaking Simply Red? The Hollywood Stars retaking their own song back from Kiss? Hell, even Ty Segall’s version of The Doors could be considered a surprise. There are also quite a few more conventional remakes here tonight, but each and every one is what the kids today call a “banger”. (Oof, remind me to never use that term again.) I’m sure any Ledge listener will find a favorite. What’s your highlight? For more info, including setlists, head to http://scotthudson.blogspot.com

On last week’s new release episode I highlighted an entire section to the new album by The Sleeveens. This week I do the same thing to my good friends High On Stress, but instead of adding my own description of how great they are I’m going to leave it to the legendary Twin/Tone Records founder Peter Jesperson – “With album #6 – Still Here – Minneapolis band High On Stress deliver their finest work yet. Full of tightly written, smart songs that stick in your head. It rocks like mad, sounds great, and when it's over, I just want to play it again.” The High On Stress segment is just the tip of the iceberg for this month’s Rum Bar Records segment, as there’s another entire set of fantastic new rock and roll from that fabulous label. There’s also some tracks from the latest Dam-nations compilation, and a few tunes from our friends at Stardumb Records and Spaghetty Town Records. There’s the latest covers project from Rob Moss and Skin-Tight Skin. Plus all kinds of punk, power pop, and good ol’ fashioned garage rock!

After a week off due to a family meal, The Ledge is back this week with the first part of the May new release series. And what a show to kick off the month. A good portion of the show consists of submissions from bands (Numb Surprise, Ricky Rochelle, etc.) and labels (Big Stir Records, I-94 Recordings, Spaghetty Town Records, etc.) that regularly support the show. Also included is a couple of great tunes from the ripping new album from Minneapolis’ Fret Rattles! But there are also a number of new records that I’ve been pumped to hear for quite some time. The second album by The Sleeveens proves that their debut was no fluke. The new White Fence album is a power pop surprise. Drakulas make a triumphant return. And Weird Nightmare is a new project from Metz leader Alex Edkins. Plus, there’s some great punk, power pop, and garage rock from many all over the world. What new records are you digging the most?

We dip into the archive to share his knowledge on neeps.And in this week's Scotland Outdoors podcast, Rachel hears the story of Ioana Ticu, an experienced mountaineer who found herself in a situation where she had to call Mountain Rescue at the summit of Ben More. We hear an excerpt of her story.

The Podcast: The Outdated Wrestling Hour With Bob Smith podcast – now in its fourth year – offers veteran fans (as well as curious younger ones) a chance to reminisce about classic mat action from years gone by. The show is hosted by Bob Smith, the former managing editor of Pro Wrestling Illustrated magazine who also enjoyed a long history with other famous titles. Co-host Joe Puccio (GenerationXWire.com) offers a younger perspective on old wrestling before the duo ushers in guests from throughout the professional mat landscape.The Topic: In the aftermath of WrestleMania 2026 – which was in turns absolutely thrilling and vastly disappointing – we've called all hands on deck for another special episode. To lead things off, Smith and Puccio look back at their picks to win the two-day extravaganza's matches, and offer their views on the PLE. That's before Steve Gennarelli of the Stick To Wrestling Podcast With John McAdam returns to the studio with one goal in mind: To try to dissuade Bob Smith from giving up today's wrestling altogether. It's an in-depth look at the premiere mat event with a decidedly “outdated” point of view!Support the showContact us at outdatedwrestling@gmail.com!

If you happen to follow me on social media (and why wouldn’t you?), you’ll have seen that every Saturday night I publish a “quilt” of records that I’ve listened to over the past week. Tonight’s show is an extension of that, minus the great number of new releases I routinely listen to during most of my listening time. Instead, this show features the older records that have hit the turntable (or my Plexamp account). There are classic albums by the usual suspects from the last 60 years. There are some relatively obscure groups I decided to hear. There’s also quite a few recent reissues that I’ve added to my collection.  Which record did you enjoy the most this week?

Yes, it’s a typical second part of the monthly new release series. And by second part, I obviously mean it’s fantastic! There’s the usual set devoted to our friends at Rum Bar Records that includes brand new tunes from Ledge favorites High On Stress and The Peppermint Kicks. There’s a full set devoted to the latest monthly compilation from the fine folks behind the Dam-Nations series. There are two full sets devoted to female-led rock and roll, including one of my new favorite discoveries, Gladie! Plus, so many bands I love have new albums out. Power pop heroes Uni Boys, psych-rock veterans The Bevis Frond, the Medway garage rock of CTMF & Wild Billy Childish, and so much more. What is your favorite new release?

We were already recording this episode when unexpected news broke: Sony is shuttering Texas-based first-party remake and port specialist studio Bluepoint. Equally shocking -- when taking into context the many first and second party failures, flubs, and misalignments in recent years -- is PlayStation Studios lead Hermen Hulst still somehow having a job. Bluepoint has an exceptional pedigree alongside untapped potential, but that's been squandered by the same machinery that allowed them to make a multiplayer game in the first place. Who is responsible for all of this first party buffonery? What's with this obsession with established teams all chasing the same exact thing? And how lucky is Sony that the going is so good for PlayStation 5 that none of this really seems to matter? Here's hoping the bloodletting begins and ends here, but we're skeptical. Other news this week includes rumors of PlayStation 6's delayed timeline, when we might expect to see Santa Monica Studios' unannounced title, McFarlane Toys picking up the Sony toy license, and more. Then, we wrap things up with listener inquiries. On the back of Silent Hill: Townfall's PS5 console exclusivity, why does Sony bother chasing these deals these days? Does Fairgame$ have an icecube's chance in hell of succeeding? Will God of War's remake be one compilation or three separate games? Is Dustin ready for his fatherly snot-sucking duties?
