We have what you need in short listening fashion. I am Shred. I did 20 years at WBCN before a douche bag cornered me and I wrote an open email to everyone at the station telling him to go fuck himself. So, this week we host 5-song featuring HUNNY, FLYCATCHER, fanclubwallet, HAPPY LANDING and DOLO TONIGHT and hope people find it interesting enough to tune into. 17:12 minutes of a free listen.
