Desolation Angel Radio

This week's Thursday episode heads further down the road we've already laid out in the previous 3 episodes. Talking about everything, literally everything, from just maintaining what it takes to keep going day after day, finding that purpose and mission, finding the heart, will and soul to do it. What it takes to stay sober, and what those initial steps in it do to you and change you when you start that journey, especially 4,5, 6, 7 and 8. What it means to be a thinking, feeling human being in today's culture and society and the corrosive effect of social media. . and about 300 other topics. . and great music from Jason Isbell, Lucero, Sturgill Simpson, Grace Potter, Brian Fallon, Ruthie Foster, American Aquarium, Mary Gauthier, American Aquarium.

This episode, as we approach 500 episodes celebrates a lot. 38 countries now, the US and 37 others. 350K listeners, 35K downloads, not just streaming, but that many episodes downloaded and kept, and it's all due to you, the listeners. Thank You!
This episode finds me all over the place, talking about everything from getting sober (and the story finally of what happened that drove that decision, with all the details), to Bertrand Russell's 4 desires that, left unchecked, can and do ruin everyone, to what exactly it means to be Generation Jones. . and a lot of great music. 
Love you all, thank you for the support

This episode of the podcast follows the theme set last week for this Fall and Winter and we go way back, to the 60's and 70's, the life, the culture, the differences growing up between then and now, and for music, explores another the veins I started back then and still follow - the blues

This episode kicks off a couple of things that will interest you. We're heading in to Fall and Winter, so the arc always comes back to personal, me talking to you and playing music for you. This time, it's a journey, my journey. . and I don't think it's just personal, that my story, my journey is your story too, is our story. This kicks off an exploration of the last 6 decades, both with words and music, and how that music, the music, I love reflects not just my story, but yours as well. It's personal and it's for you. No matter who you are, if you've known me 50 years, or 10 years, or 2 years, this involves you, and talks about things you know, and more importantly, things you don't know. Settle in, turn it on, and let's tell that story and take that journey together. 

This episode of Desolation Angel Radio continues the set of interviews with bands playing at the Great Blue Heron Music Festival 2026 July 2nd to July 5th, with interviews with Danny Bauer of Sneezy and Pat Walsh of Hot Like Mars. Both talk about their music, where it comes from, and their joy of playing live. Danny talks about how much Sneezy loves the Heron; the festival, the grounds, the people and spending the entire weekend there. Pat talks about how excited they are to be coming to and playing at the Heron. It's an enjoyable episode. Take some time to listen.

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

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. 

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
