    The Sid Griffin Podcast - Call All Coal Porters - Show 37

    The 37th Sid Griffin Podcast is ready to be heard and enjoyed. No holiday theme this year as Sid has done in past podcasts but…get ready for a surprise…he HAS done an entire show devoted to his fave act, The Byrds.
    No hits, of course, but outtakes, demos, and rare tracks not even the most devoted Byrd fan has heard. We are talking tunes even the late great Johnny Rogan never heard. So grab your 12-string Rickenbacker and get ready for Roger, Gene, Crosby, Hillman, Gram, and Clarence to make music like only they could!

    The lastest and greatest Sid Podcast features both classic and obscure acts who left great, great music on the cutting room floor.

    The Sid Griffin Podcast - A Tribute To Bob Neuwirth - Show 34

    The new Sid Podcast takes a new path, this being the first time a podcast has been devoted to only one subject.
    When Bob Neuwirth died recently he left a lot of great art be it his paintings, his cultural commentary, or his music.
    We explore the latter in this new podcast, and I hope I did my late friend proud.

    The latest and possibly greatest Sid Podcast is unique to the podcast genre.
    Every song on the podcast was recorded by a person who wore a wig or at least a toupee. Not a single song on this new podcast was recorded by a person who performed in their God-given hair.
    So get ready for some great music, some cultural surprises, and some cool stories on this dandruff free podcast from Sid Griffin.

Great tunes, great broadcaster!

Great tunes from a great broadcaster. Always a pleasure when Sid turns up on the BBC and his podcast here is no different. Someone give this man his own radio show!
