Spambot Radio: April 2013

Welcome to Spambot Radio, an hour long podcast paying homage to rug-cutting novelties and rarities! The last Monday of each month (or close enough) a new episode is posted. Each packed with commercials and PSAs from eras that now deem them vintage, retro, or any other buzz word that suggests nostalgia for the old and hip!

I have to change up the format a bit as my hosting site is making changes to their offered services. This makes streaming impossible. So April's episode is downloadable only. Click here.

Enjoy and see ya next month, turkey necks!
