About this listen

 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.

    We have arrived at episode 128 after some deliberation to continue hosting our weekly 5-song music podcast due to how copyright restrictions work and prohibits certain songs we play from being promoted outside our small scope of reach, which we try our damndest to find folks interested in hearing new tunes. For this episode we have some true zingers for you: NEW FOUND GLORY, BARRY ADAMSON, DJO, MADEON and PORTUGAL THE MAN all contribute their latest offerings for us to hear on The Broken Cassette Player, as hosted by former 20-year WBCN dj Shred, who happens to have pretty good taste in music, but we're biased.
