Radio BSOTS show #150 - A Blackout Friday Blend Session

This episode turned out much different than originally intended.  This was supposed to be the episode where I revisited a BSOTS spinoff show from my early days of podcasting.  However, some things happened recently in America (Ferguson, MO to be precise) that made my shift my focus.  A playlist began to build in my head to help me deal with the rage and the sadness that I was feeling.  So I figured I'd share, just in case there was any one out there that needed a mix like this in their lives, too.

It's not the first time that I've made a show like this.  And it probably won't be the last.  Honestly, I look forward to the day where making shows like these won't be necessary, but some major changes would have to take place in this country for that to happen.  In the meantime, I'll let the music do the talking.  There are enough talkers in this world; I'm doing what I can to learn how to be a good listener.  The world needs more of those.
