Turning the Tables is a radio show broadcast from the bank of the French Broad River in Madison County, western North Carolina. Every Saturday night, host Drew Dobbs debuts an hour-long custom mix of a particular artist or microgenre. Past shows have spotlighted John Prine, Sidney Poitier, Carl Sandburg, Burning Spear, the semi-musical stylings of Walter Brennan, nature recordings, truck driving songs, Moms Mabley, Thurl Ravenscroft, and the soundtrack of the 1967 Spider-Man cartoon.

I am groovin' to the "clean hip-hop" episode now, and it is superb. Plenty of funk and acid rock stitching it together.

You have made my week with this, and probably done the same for the two people I’m sending this to. Thank you!
