Slow Motion #1

A show that takes a year to create.

While many of my favorite new and old tunes are featured regularly in the Wholesome radio rotation, I haven’t been so good at getting my voice on the air or curating for you specific shows. Excuses, excuses.

What I have been doing consistently is creating an annual playlist of my top albums for each year. I've been doing this since 2013, and felt the need to celebrate the creation of my 11th annual playlist.

Since the year 2023 had so many great hits, I was motivated to do a show live, on New Year’s Eve 2023, where I played two tracks from each of my favorite albums of the year and attempted to inspire listeners to seek the rest of the album.

Check out the show I did on NYE 2023, where I feature two tracks from each of my favorite albums of the year. My hope is that the songs hook you enough that you find yourself needing to listen to the rest of the album. I considered requiring the songs be back to back, but decided against it in favor of starting the show with the first song from an album and ending it with the last show of an album.
