It&#8217;s basically one guy in the mountains of West Virginia who records local bluegrass bands and narrates a show around them.  The music is <i>fantastic<\/i>.  And the guy has a nice cat named Buster, who he claims runs the booth controls for him!<\/p>\n<p>As requested on his radio show, I sent the guy an email, letting him know he had a new fan in Chicago, and he wrote back a really nice response.  I recommend you download an episode of his radio program, it&#8217;s great stuff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple has finally caught onto the popularity of podcasts.
