A podcast dedicated to putting a spotlight on bands and musicians in the 518 area. Created, Produced and Hosted by Andy Scullin of ShortWave RadioBand.
Each Tuesday, Andy sits down with a musician or band from the 518 (or close by) and they have a completely unplanned discussion about music, or whatever else happens to come up.
Think of it as less of an interview and more of a conversation.
