Season 3, Episode 7, If the voice sounds familiar it is because you have been hearing it on the radio since the early 1970s. AJ chats with Harvey Wharfield about a career that kept him in the Boston Market for over 50 years, up and down the dial on different rock ’n roll stations. No matter where he was, he was always a strong supporter of local music and was one of the first DJs to have a radio show that only focused on local talent. This was an amazing opportunity to connect with True Royalty ~ The Commander of the Rock N Roll Air-Force, someone who truly loved and helped shape the local Boston music scene.

S3, Episode 8: David Bieber, Celebrated Caretaker, Curator and Collector of our Generations’ Legacies

Season 3, Episode 8. AJ chats with David Bieber. There is a great line in a classic George Carlin skit, where he says “... all you need in life, is a little place for your stuff....” But what if your "little place" needs to be a warehouse? After a 50 year career within the radio business, including time at both WBCN and WFNX. David Bieber collected a lot of stuff. Out of necessity came The David Bieber Archves. An indescribable location. Think of your favorite used book / magazine / record shop, combined with a pop culture museum, art gallery, advertising / political archives, walls of master reel to reel FM live recordings, vintage music instruments and recording relics. There are boxes lined up floor to ceiling, labeled with a bands’ name with their history inside. You know .... heaven. You can also see a lot of the archives on display at various locations around the city. From his days at BU in the early 70’s to today, like the archives there is a lot of stuff to talk about. You will enjoy this one.
