The WFMU podcast army has recruited a new soldier: Michael Shelley!
This special podcast will feature the interview portion of Michael's weekly radio program, during which our #1 Hit fanatic chats up high-profile rock, soul, country, and jazz personalities. And just to prove that we don't throw around terms like "high-profile" willy-nilly, Michael's inaugural podcast is an interview with Johnny Rivers. That's right, the Johnny Rivers!
Visit WFMU's Podcast Central if you'd like to subscribe to Michael's weekly podcast (instructions are here), and be sure to take a looksie at our other fab podcast offerings.
I'm glad someone's still interviewing Johnny Rivers in 2007 - he has to be the most underrated of all the major 60s record sellers, and something tells me that this wouldn't be the case if he had been more of a songwriter (he was peerless at picking songs and discovering talent, though - see Jimmy Webb, the 5th Dimension, or the long list of classy songwriters he recovered). He could have been, too: "Poor Side of Town" is an incredible song!
