Episode 51
Originally aired October 8th, 2019. After a most entertaining two hour block of soft rock vibes the previous week, I decided to go for something a little more laid back for this episode. No theme for this episode, just a solid episode of good grooves along with a throwback set that I may have sprinkled a little soft rock into for old times sake!

Episode 50: Soft Rock Vibes
Originally aired October 1st, 2019. We've hit a major milestone, and whereas I've normally done just a regular episode on the smaller milestone episodes, I figured I'd switch things up a little bit while also making good on something I promised I would do, so episode 50 was 100% soft rock! We kept it laid back with hits by Journey, Starship, Tears for Fears, Berlin, and of course, Phil Collins.

Episode 40: (Mostly) 90s Throwbacks
Originally aired July 23rd, 2019. To mark the milestone that was episode 40, the night was devoted to all the amazing R&B, Soul, and Dance jams from the 1990s (and a little bit of the 80s as well!) It was a show inspired by the mixtapes that my brother Rodney made back in the day, so it only made sense to have him on the show once more to revel and reminisce in all of the glorious throwback tracks from a decade many of us hold dear!

We had Chris DeLuca, one of the newest members of the Radio Free Brooklyn family, who will be hosting "The Foundation", a show premiering July 27th at 10PM, all about the jazz, funk, and r&b songs used as samples in Hip Hop. We also had Calvin's nephew Avius, who is visiting the city from Kentucky, and last but not least, Calvin's brother Rodney, who has arrived in the states from Okinawa, Japan! It was a great night of music, laughs, and getting to chat music, life, and everything in between!
