Disciples!!

Here it is – the final volume of ‘Gene’s Picks’ for 2023! Part Two for the second half of the year. We’ve got another episode with a nice variety for your listening pleasure, and there’s still time to catch Volumes 1-3 in your favorite podcasting app or YouTube. (Or visit http://www.dotwpod.com)

It’s been a hell of a ride, and once again I want to thank EVERY band/Manager/PR Person whose sent us materials for consideration. Looking forward to what 2024 is going to bring!
