  • Episode 206 - BOX SETS!

    27/06/2025 Duración: 01h23min

    In this episode, I talk about one of my favorite musical formats--the CD Box Set! That's right! It's a theme episode!!! Enjoy! Blog: http://emptychecking.blogspot.com Bandcamp: http://derekbrink.bandcamp.com email: db@derekbrink.com Time Index: ...there's just one topic. If you want to be a jerk and skip the intro, the "show" starts at 6:57. But...really? You don't have just short of 7 minutes to hear about my day? Wow... The music in this episode is all from my Departure album: Deeper Than Oceans Lectio Divina Thanks!

  • Episode 205 - Love & Mercy to Brian Wilson

    12/06/2025 Duración: 42min

    I had a different episode ready to go, but given the day's news I needed to talk about Brian Wilson. This isn't a typical episode. It's very emotional, my thoughts are somewhat random and cloudy, and it's a little raw. But I needed to do something to pay tribute to one of my all-time heroes. I hope you enjoy it.
