Host Picks: Sailmaking, Soul Radio, and the Olympic Marmot

It’s New Year’s Eve. At midnight, many of us will be raising glasses, kissing loved ones, and trying to remember the words to “Auld Lang Syne.”  That song, if you don’t recall, begins with a question: “Should old acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind?”  We here at Soundside say, NO! We will remember.  This year, we brought on a couple new producers, and they have been fantastic additions to our team! I am super excited to see how they help us grow.  But we will never forget those who helped us get here. So, today, we’re playing back some of the great work by former Soundside producers.
