Five years ago I took my love of making mix CDs to a new medium. I had webspace I barely used, except for my boring and seldom updated blog that talked about how tired I was most of the time. I had more CDs than I knew what to do with. So I made a mix, created a feed and uploaded an hour of stuff I listened to, starting with a Jason Forrest track. Here five years later, the show has morphed. Quasi legit (I clear everything I play) and less frequent, but still here and one of the longest continuously running music podcasts around. I know I am niche and not mass market, but I appreciate all of you listening. The show is at about 500 downloads in the first month of an episode with another couple of hundred downloads of archived shows. Not huge, but enough for me to keep listening to new music and doing it.
