“Best of 2024 (part four!)”

Note: In the middle of my show last night WPRB suffered a massive network meltdown that initially made my broadcast slightly choppy (you can hear it towards the end of the mic break) before eventually turning unbearably jagged and finally silent. I’ve re-built the show so the second set sounds as intended and will air what would have been the final seven songs of the night when I’m on the radio next! – JS
