  • New Podcast: World of Wonder with DJ CatSynth, Final Episode

    New Podcast: World of Wonder with DJ CatSynth, Final Episode

    My final show for the World of Wonder on San Francisco Community Radio aired last Thursday (10/10). The podcast is now online.

    For a full playlist, please visit Spinitron.

    It was a lot of fun to do this show for a year, but as my own musical work expands and other responsibilities continue, it is no longer sustainable. I hope to start a more modest podcast series next year, though, and don’t rule out returning the SF Community Radio in the future. Please visit SFCR’s website to find out more about the work they are doing and the great shows that will be continuing.
