  • Episode 391: All Of A Sudden
    Jan 13 2026

    Uwe is in the studio for one last show before leaving town again, and he's got one more show worth of classic and rare soul and R&B records new to his collection to share with us on today's radio dance party. We analyze the ownership history left behind on a record, look at a group called the Supremes that wasn't THAT Supremes but used the name first, and listen to a song that really wants you to FEEL IT!

  • Episode 390: A Little Togetherness
    Jan 6 2026

    DJ Uwe is back in the studio again for another episode sharing his recent record digging finds. We talk about Texas place name pronunciations, lucky breaks and regrettable decisions in collecting, and potential trades. We take a request from a toddler! Mostly we just play 1960s Northern Soul, R&B, and Mod dancers, on their optimal format - the 45 rpm vinyl single!
