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. Thanks!© 2025 The Broken Cassette Player Music

    It's time for episode 116 of our weekly new music podcast, The Broken Cassette Player, which this week is particularly good, because we found 5 songs that you should easily hear, despite never having listened to us before, this is the week to change that. Put amazing tunes by CORAL MOONS, SHE'S GREEN, LITTLE IMAGE, POOL KIDS and KING ISIS will make you smile. I am Shred. I used to dj at WBCN for 20 years from 1987-2007, when rock life was good. It's good again in 2025 and we hope you come along for our ride.
