The Broken Cassette Player

By: Shred (Edward Jacobs)
  • Summary

  • It's a new music show (mostly) hosted by 20-year WBCN veteran dj Shred. We believe we need to keep moving forward with what we listen to and want to share our musical findings with as many folks as we possibly can, because we feel the bands we play should be more widely heard like it used to happen when a band was giving airplay on the local radio station. I come from that world and think we need to continue to push it for a bigger audience to enjoy and give these bands a lifeblood. Email us at teamshred@comcast.net for feedback. Thanks!

    It's 77, episode 77 unleashed for anyone possible to hear. Still looking for our audience. We should be a tastemaker with how good the material we come up with each week is for everyone to hear. Put your ears on 5 amazing tunes: Beeef, Bike Routes, Benny Noon, Calling Hours and Christian Lee Hutson are all worth just under 20 minutes of your time. I'm Shred. I did college radio for 4 years at WERS, Emerson College, then 20 at WBCN. We try to have fun, always.
