Hello!

So today we have some sweet music that everybody knows and loves. From some great classic rock to disney, to motown, to infinity and beyond!

I have Bob Turitz, a well known radio figure in Colorado aka B.T who is going to talk about how he got into radio and inspire you to do the same!

Of course I've found some cool things that inspired me this week that I'll talk about, and then when that's out of the way I'll be goofing off like mad.

Oh! and I'll be playing a Berklee Alumni band Merrigoround whom I interviewed. They will talk about what inspires them and I'll some of their rock'n tunes.

Hello my fine friends!

Today we are going to have some sweet music you will love.

I will also have some music from Berklee Alumni and a quick interview I did with them while I was in Austin a couple weeks ago.

Marlene Palmer will be on at 3pm so stay tuned! She is the publicist for Micheal Buble, Anne Murray and many others. She's a highly respected individual who will give some tips on what a publicist does and of course, she'll talk about what inspires her.

Tune in and don't hesitate to give me a call to request a song, or aim me at thebirn for any questions or just to say hi!

I'll some sweet sweet Disney tunes with some others that make you grin and remember the good ol' days.

There will be some talk about inspiring musicians who made it through the industry, and what we can learn from them! Give me a call if you want to add anything!

I'm so excited to interview Larry Wilson. A friend of mine who is founder of radio broadcasting company Citadel Associates who built it up to over 200 stations in the country and later sold it for $2 billion. This man is incredible, and very funny. It's going to be an awesome interview.

Last but not least. Berklee Students Inspired! This is the part of the show where we'll hear what inspires Berklee students. I'll be having Andre Vasconcelo and Robin Sellin in the studio and I'll play some of their music and ask them what inspired them to do all the great stuff they do.

YEEEEEHAAAAAAAW! Talk to you soon!!
