(Podcasts usually stay up for 6 – 8 weeks.  This one will stay up for a few months as it’s a live performance and those are usually very popular.  Send feedback to studiobrva@gmail.com or smackjay@gmail.com).

Studio B live sessions are very popular with listeners and they’re the most fun episodes to produce.  It’s just the band or artist, a studio and engineer and me (Jay).  The vibe is casual and the artists really respond to having the forum all to themselves.  When the band is as pro as Paulo and his band are, well.. just listen for yourself.
