Random Song Encounters returns with Episode 44, better than ever. This week's episode, titled "I Need That Record," resonates with the universal thrill of discovering a new song and the urgent need to know its artist and title.

Random Song Encounters is a unique podcast, and you’re among the fortunate followers who’ve enlisted in our mission to ascend the ranks of musical commentary. This week, we’ve orchestrated a monumental show titled “Signed, Sealed & Delivered.” As a one-person ensemble, I’ve assumed multiple roles: music director, engineer, announcer, production and program manager, station manager, and on-air talent. Whatever transpires, it's "nobody's fault but mine" (to borrow from Led Zeppelin). With that, I’ve personally endorsed this week’s show, securely sealed it within electronic files for distribution, and ultimately delivered it to you via podcast platforms and file links. The effort has been exhausting, but the end result makes it all worthwhile. I sincerely hope you’re savoring the fruits of our labor. Enjoy! Hosted on Acast.
