You're in for a treat, podcast listener! I still haven't figured out what went wrong with the sound, but what I recorded from the broadcast was so bad that I practically had to replace every track but the back announces. So you're in for a much hi'er-fi'er experience here. We start in New Orleans before heading back to 1940s Trinidad, then leaping straight ahead to Soca 2012! Then we've got some new from here in the States. Oh and a goodbye to Davy Jones.
EASGS will be off the air for the 3rd Thursday of March, but we should be returning on 3/29.
