Episode #190: Darkest Light

I feel our programmer-listener relationship is on solid enough ground that I can be honest when I, more of less, "phone it in," which especially happens with shows near the end of the calendar year. What's ticklish is that many of these reduced-energy, low-mojo shows end up being pretty good. This may be because I'm suspending much of the criteria by which I program songs, letting some unique quality items sneak onto the playlist. I think that happened this week. I feel as proud of this result as I am perturbed about the process. First World Problems R Us.
