(386) IMS Volume 12

Disciples!!

Here it is, part 2 of our wrap of 2025:
The final Independent Music Special.

Yep – due to time constraints and a desire to return to other content options for the podcast, it’s time to put the IMS format to rest. I do say that with a heavy heart, because I too enjoy listening to the finished ‘product’ after sifting through all of the music we get in a month. But, it’s just time.

So, enjoy Volume 12 of 2025’s releases – and we’ll see you on the next episode!
