Episode 11, Back 'n' Ballin', the first episode of a brand new season of my exclusive radio show podcast Thirty Three and a Third Cents a Pound, has officially been posted. Click below to listen to the show.
33 1/3 Cents a Pound began as a college radio show on WRCT Pittsburgh 88.3fm in 1997. Founded by a couple of skinny nerds who liked hip-hop, the show went on to become a mainstay at 'RCT, one of the nation's premier college radio stations. The first episode aired in January of 1997 from 2 to 6 in the morning and, as the show became more popular, worked its way up to the prime time Friday evening 8-10pm slot, college radio's preeminent pre-party time slot.
My show returned in January of 2013 as a streaming podcast with 10 all new episodes in the Winter and Spring. I've returned now for the second new season, with episodes set to go up once a month, October through May, an annual schedule I plan to maintain going forward.

This episode, Back 'n Ballin', features a nice Bone Thugs mix segment, a couple of songs by k-os, and a new segment I'm calling a "subgenre medley" where I pick two subgenres that I think play well together. This week's subgenre medley features the classic Western Swing sounds of Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys and some traditional ska selections from Prince Buster, Jimmy Cliff, and others. You'll hear some classic blues based rock from Three Dog Night, Grand Funk Railroad, and Led Zeppelin, as well as some Jackie Mittoo inspired rocksteady reggae and a dash of Mary Poppins, among others.
