Wow – another year come and gone! It’s hard to believe that eTown is quickly approaching the 25-year mark as an independently produced and distributed broadcast/podcast. Just in the time I’ve been there alone (5 years now) I have seen so many amazing things happen on the stage, and the... read more →

Hello friends. Well it’s the holiday season, as we all know. It can be the best of times or the worst of times, depending on what’s going on in your personal world. Things like family dynamics, the groove at work, your social scene, spiritual satisfaction or lack of it .... read more →

It’s starting to feel a lot like the holidays here at eTown. Another year is coming to a close. Our production schedule is moving right along and the little elves that make things around here (like radio shows, interview content, and videos) have been hard at work to close out... read more →

In July 2007, Random Acts of Flowers’ founder, Larsen Jay, was in a near-fatal accident. He credits the outpouring of support he received in the form of daily visitors and dozens of floral arrangements while in the hospital as a key to providing the emotional lift and encouragement that helped... read more →

Time and time again, I’m surprised by how awesome a band sounds, when I walk into production for an eTown taping with little previous knowledge of that act. This week we are digging back into the archives an unearthing a show we originally taped and aired back in 2013, with... read more →

It feels good to have weeks like this holiday week. While so much is made about the food and the travel associated with the Thanksgiving holiday, the real focus should be to step back and look around and give thanks for the world around us – for family, friends, co-workers,... read more →

For me, this taping for this week’s broadcast/podcast was a huge deal for so many reasons. Both musical guests that are with us have impacted my life in so many ways. For them to come together on the evening of the taping, under the same roof, was surreal to me.... read more →

We’ve been fortunate, here at eTown, to develop relationships with artists over the years that have been coming back, time and time again. Once they come on the show the first time, we like to think that they had a great time, and will come back and join us again.... read more →

My how the rules have changed, since the dawn of the Internet. It really is amazing how many tools are out there these days that have allowed artists to fully take control of their own destinies. While the Internet has certainly presented the music industry with it’s own set of... read more →

Every now and then we like to take a look back and some great things that have happened on stage at eTown Hall in recent years, and pull them back out for another listen. This week, we have another one of those back-by-popular demand shows that we are sure you... read more →

Man oh man, check out this photo from our backyard: That’s from a bear who’s been frequenting our neighborhood of late (if the rather large, nightly deposits of bear scat in various spots around the ‘hood are any indication, he’s been a regular visitor). Through the opening he made in... read more →

The weeks are flying by, and pretty soon we’ll be looking at a new year entirely. While most folks keep track of time using a calendar or a watch, we find ourselves monitor the passing weeks with our broadcast/podcasts. A new one lands every Wednesday morning, and this week we... read more →

What a GREAT combination coming your way this week! Compelling conversation, amazing musical moments and an award that’ll make you smile (or cry, if you’re a softie like me). Our old friend, singer / songwriter / actor (and author) Steve Earle joins us once again in eTown, this time bringing... read more →

Hi, Nick here. I’ve been watching the news and hearing about all the bizarre stuff happening out there, as I’m sure you have. And I find myself asking the same question over and over: Where are all the moderates? Why aren’t we hearing from them? For instance, where are the... read more →

Being in the media creation line of work, all of us here at eTown spend quite a bit of time checking out the world around us to see and hear what kinds of things are being captured in the audio and video realms. Things move so fast, that it’s important... read more →

On the heels of the Labor Day holiday, I can’t help but think about the workers of Market Basket, who went on strike when their beloved CEO Arthur T. Demoulas was ousted this past June because of his management style by a board of directors controlled by his cousin Arthur... read more →

Labor Day is this weekend, and somehow it always reminds me of my Dad. Mostly from an experience I had that I’ll tell you about in a moment. But first let me quickly share some things about my Pop. An immigrant, my father arrived from what was then Yugoslavia ‘on... read more →
