The First / Last Radio Show is a concept-driven music program hosted by veteran presenter Gary Hopkins, focusing on the firsts and lasts in music history — from opening and closing tracks on albums to an artist’s earliest and final releases, chart milestones, and more. Plus, Gary spins forgotten or overlooked “firsts” and “lasts” in music. The result is a pick-and-mix of genres, eras, and styles, making it a unique blend of nostalgia, discovery, and storytelling Each week, The First/Last Show airs on Wednesdays at 2:00am and 2:00pm, Eastern

 Get ready, starting tomorrow we have a new show premiering on Vinyl Voyage Radio: The Flip ! This show is all about the 45 rpm single. Hosted by Bruce Janu, the flip takes one 45, and flips it - playing both the A and B sides.  The 45 rpm record was all about the A side-- the side that contained the sing, or the potential hit. The B side was often another track from the album, or an unreleased song. People usually didn't buy a 45 for the B side -- but, as The Flip demonstrates, the B side could be better than the A. Join us for our first episode where we dive into the first single released for Fleetwood Mac's 1976 masterpiece: Rumours.  We listen first to side A, and then FLIP it for Side B -- two songs, by the same artist.  The Flip  can be heard every Tuesday at 11am (EST) with a repeat at 11pm (EST).

This is a fun episode - our love letter to the movies! This features stories about walking home after watching Dracula as a kid, taking street cars to the large cinemas downtown, plus lots of James Bond, science-fiction, and how my grandfather hated Elliot Ness! Music includes selected movie soundtrack songs, Doris Day, Paul McCartney, the cast of Rocky Horror, Shirley Bassey and more! Listen Sunday at 2pm (Eastern) on Vinyl Voyage Radio or right now via Mixcloud - Just click the link below!

Thirteen years ago — December 23, 2012 — I wrote that I was struggling to get into the Christmas spirit. The so-called “war on Christmas” was everywhere, (remember that?) yet it felt like Christmas had already won — stores opening on Thanksgiving, radio stations flipping to all-Christmas formats before Halloween was even over. It felt loud. Rushed. Commercial. And maybe a little hollow. I remember writing then that perhaps Linus was right — Christmas had become too commercial. Or maybe it just felt different because I wasn’t a kid anymore. But here's the truth:  Music is a time machine. Nothing pulls you backward through time quite like a song. One note, one harmony, one familiar voice — and suddenly you’re back in a living room from decades ago, or riding in the back seat of a car, or sitting on the floor while the tree lights glow. In 2012, Vinyl Voyage Radio had only been on for a year. And that year, I decided to do something different: instead of wall-to-wall modern Chr...

 I grew up in a zoo. A little zoo, but a zoo, nonetheless. We had the usual - dogs and cats and birds. But we also had an also an octopus. Snakes. Eels. Shrimp. Turtles. And more. This episode is all about the pets that have shaped our lives, featuring music by The Beatles, Queen, Jim Stafford, The Cure, Natalie Merchant and more.  This episode premieres tomorrow at 2pm, EST.
