And its a wrap on Season 4! This is such a rewarding show to work on, the creators and editors all have excellent music taste, which is soooo helpful in making me look brillaint! Some highlights of the season for me were Celeste “Love Is Back”, Edward Sharpe “Man On Fire”, Her Space Holiday “Sleepy Tigers”, Departure Lounge “Mr. Friendly”, Joy Oladokun “breathe again”, Saint Elsinore “Wild World”, Luca Fogale “Another Way Around” and, of course, the karaoke episode. :) Max has more adventures ahead in Season 5 so come back in the Fall! Here is a link to the playlist containing all the songs we featured in Season 4: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5gdlYZmECt46vV0GQkGtnL?si=9abe6839e481423d

I think my first Twitch DJ mini-set went fairly well, despite some technical difficulties! Twitch is not so scary, you can do it! It’s freeeeeee! Songs below are linked to every possible music service, please support these deserving artists. http://twitch.tv/bravenewworldtricia Most Sunday mornings, West Coast time.
Hear the entire podcast series that I co-hosted about my radio mentor + 80s underground music, (produced by Bob Carlson and Myke Dodge Weiskopf), on-air today from noon-8pm on KCRW! Plus a few other gems from the Deirdre vaults.
Tune in to 89.9 FM on your radio or click on the image below to go straight to the site and stream on-line by clicking “Listen live” in the top left corner. So fun!
It was cool then, its cool now, 22 years later, you can relive Brave New World radio almost exactly as it happened! Thanks to my nerdy database of playlists, I am able to recreate my radio show here on Spotify. I knew there was a reason I typed all those song titles in so meticulously! Belle & Sebastian, Built To Spill, Soul Coughing, PJ Harvey and more, all here.
I’m incredibly honored to be co-hosting the new KCRW podcast “Bent By Nature: Deirdre O’Donoghue and the Lost SNAP! Archives.” In my opinion, Deirdre was the best damn DJ in the world, also my inspiration, my mentor and my friend. She produced and hosted an incredible free-form radio show on KCRW from 1982-1991, making a home for bands as huge as REM and as obscure as The Reivers. This is a period of time mostly before Nirvana and before Indie was a genre, when discovering independent music was truly an art. Beginning October 28, you can hear all about it in the 10-episode podcast, but meanwhile you can enjoy a taste of the independent music she loved on this Spotify playlist! PS Please ‘like’ the playlist in Spotify if you can so more people will see it!
