This week’s post is a little out of the ordinary. I’m excited to share that Songs That Saved Your Life is now a radio show! Now you can read in-depth rock history here on Substack and then listen to the music by the artists I cover here and stories about their influences and who they inspired.

I’ve been given the privilege of hosting my show on two platforms: internet radio and my local community radio station here in New York (premiering Feb. 27)

Here’s a roundup of the radio episodes that have premiered so far. I’ve included the Substack story and radio episode for each so you can read and listen at the same time!

Need some energy? Tune in for disco, hi-NRG, and funk music in my tribute to Sylvester.
