Ep. 4: I Should be Fired Immediately

This week’s aftershow goes deeper into the backstories behind a few of the artists featured on the show, whom Melissa knows personally, and the idea that good music never really disappears. It just gets reinvented by the people who pick it up next. The show was full of new voices making old songs new again.

The conversation also turns to how much harder it feels to discover new music now. Even when you set aside time for it, streaming has a way of steering you back to what you already know, unless you walk in with something specific in mind.

Along the way, Melissa calls herself out for a few technical missteps from recent episodes and then realizes she may not have caught all of them. So now there’s a challenge: go back, listen closely, and see if you can spot the one she missed. She even offered a free gift from the Radio Garden State merch shop for the first person to call and catch it.

And yes, she also addresses the lack of phone calls coming in. You're stuck with her until you finally decide to be part of the conversation!
