On the recent Saturday when Howie Edelson appeared on his show for an interview, host Michael Shelley did a really cool thing and shared his archive of Beach Boys and Beach Boys related interviews which he had done on his show over the past 15 years or so. All of these are available below at the links, which will have a pop-up player for those who wish to listen. The commentary is what Michael himself posted during the show.
If there are any issues posting these, this will be removed.
But I want to recommend to everyone who listens to these to show some support for WFMU and consider making a donation, and start listening to shows like The Michael Shelley Show as regular listeners and supporters of the station. It's a non-commercial, not-for-profit station that relies on donations and listener support to produce their programs and broadcast/stream their shows. I guarantee if you listen, you'll hear records played and guests interviewed which you will not hear anywhere else on regular commercial radio.
Here's the link, consider making a donation to WFMU if you enjoy the content posted here, there is a "Donate!" icon at the homepage:
