This week’s theme was the alphabet, where I had songs where the song title and artist began with the same letter, for every letter of the alphabet, except for Q because I couldn’t find a good song for it that was radio friendly in both sound and content.

Thanks to those who listened. Next week’s theme branches off of the general concept of ‘sharing’ with cover songs, but not only cover songs, oh no. I will also include some of the original versions of songs you had no idea were covers. If your I just blew your mind, then it’s far too easy to surprise you.
My show happens Mondays 8-10 pm eastern standard time.
