DA Radio GBH 2026 Conversation with Ripe and Jim Donovan

This episode is continuing the series of conversations with artists who are playing the 2026 Great Blue Heron Music Festival. This one finds me having a great conversation with Sampson Hellerman and Robbie Wulfsohn of Ripe in a delightful, fun conversation. They've never been to the Heron before this are one of the main acts hitting the stage, and a conversation with Jim Donovan of Jim Donovan & The Sun King Warriors, who's a long time staple on the bill, and even before that, on the Heron stage with other bands. He, and the festival, and he and I have some history and it shows. There's also cuts from each band, and all in all, a really fun episode

DA Radio GBH 2026 Pixie & The Partygrass Boys and Moontricks Interview

This episode of the podcast finds me talking to and having some pretty good conversations with Katia, who is Pixie, of Pixie & The Partygrass Boys, and Nate from Moontricks. It's engaging, warm, and a lot of fun, both sets of conversations, and some music from both, with a new track being debuted by Pixie right here on the podcast to take her segment out. And of course, information about The Great Blue Heron Music Festival, July 2nd to 5th this year, and where and how to buy tickets. 

DA Radio Great Blue Heron 2026 Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad & Bombargo Interview

This episode of the podcast has me turning my eyes (and ears) as I do yearly to this year's 2026 Great Blue Heron Music Festival with interviews with James Searl of Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad, and Bombargo with Anthony Thoen and Spencer Chilliak talking about them. We talk about the festival, especially James, who's a veteran of it and what it means to him; the atmosphere, the community and the feel and why he loves it, and about their music.
Anthony and Spencer talk about their music, the excitement of coming to the festival and playing for it for the first time and how they're looking forward to it. (and premier a brand new cut from them right after the interview). 
There's music from both bands to bookend the interviews, and it's all enjoyable and fun. 
Enjoy

Desolation Angel Radio - 2026 Great Blue Heron kickoff

It's the 2026 Heron kick-off episode of Desolation Angel Radio. This ep of the podcast has a conversation with Julie about this year's Great Blue Heron Music Festival and Blind Faith ticket sales. Conversations with Payge and Jen about volunteering straight from the volunteer coordinators. Even if you've volunteered before, listen closely to it. They lay out the crews, process, exactly how everything works. They're the source. A conversation with Isa about Nature & Wellness weekends, and a shout out from the group. An hour of your time well worth investing in

Desolation Angel Radio - The Sober Episode

This episode, published the week I observe and mark 45 years sober, serves as a marker. The episodes in October, November, early December all were leading up to this one. It's free, just click the link. This episode, I'm going to ask you to listen, and to share, there's lots of ways to do that, and share buttons, with others. If someone you know, or even someone you don't know, is struggling, is questioning, about their own or someone else's addictions, about recovery and about being sober and clean, this is the episode to listen to, and if it guides even one person to recovery, if it helps only one person, it's worth it

Desolation Angel Radio - Christmas 2025

The annual Christmas show! Really cool Christmas music, and talking about what Christmas means to me, and how some of you have saved it over the years for me. Where the Nomad Project came from (it started out as a Christmas thing), some really big personal news from me concerning the immediate future, some thanks to all of you, and if you're a friend of mine, you're probably name checked on a national podcast with some Christmas wishes, some gratitude for friendship and being on the planet and some thanks.
Enjoy
