Synthwave: 2003 - 2026
We are back with a brand new episode filled to the brim with Synthwave goodness! These songs span a 23-year period, 2003 straight through to earlier this year. Over here at Dives, we love this genre, and I hope to convert you all to the glories these songs offer. Also, if you like songs with sax...

DeepDives: Hi-Tech Melodic AOR & Pop, '84 - '94 (Corrected File)
The DeepDives team is back with one more trip off the waters of Hi-Tech Melodic AOR & Pop, as the next two scheduled Dives will be Synthwave and then a couple of rounds of Melodic Rock from the past twenty years. The episode you're about to hear, or are currently listening to, is filled with…

DeepDives: Hi-Tech Melodic AOR & Pop, 1984 - 1998
DeepDives is back with another round of Hi-Tech Melodic AOR & Pop. For this episode, I'm between the years 1984 and 1998. Many of the songs have never been played, and the ones that have haven't been played in many a year. I hope you enjoy, and I'll see you back here in a couple of weeks with a...
-
DeepDives: Melodic AOR, 1983 - 1993(9)
After a couple of "Off the Beaten Path" episodes, we are back in the Dives wheelhouse of Melodic AOR. The majority of the episode resides smack dab in the 80's with a few 90's excursions thrown in for good measure. Thanks for being patient as I traveled down some less-traveled rivers these last...
-
DeepDives: Heartland III
It's been a couple of years, but we're finally back with a third round of Heartland for your ears to enjoy. This week's episode is crammed full with music between the years 1981 and 2015, with 90% of the material between 1983 & 1990, the Heartland sweet spot in my opinion. Enjoy, my friends, &...
-
DeepDives: Like A Rolling Stone
We are back with a new show for your ears to enjoy. This episode is filled with music from the last five decades that lean heavily on the Rolling Stones sound. Particularly, 1968 through 1981. There are a lot of Dives regulars to satisfy, and as for the other artists, I hope I weaved them in and...
-
(FIXED) Deepives; WestCoast-ish III, 1979-2026
This is the fixed version of the newest Dives. Somehow, the final third of the show didn't make the trip over to Podbean. I promise you it's here now. My apologies. 👊 The DeepDives team is back with a WestCoast-ish episode for your ears to enjoy. This is the third such episode in this series and...
-
DeepDives: High-Tech AOR & Melodic Rock, Round II - 1980 - 1993
The DeepDives team is back with a brand new episode for your ears to enjoy. You can say this show is a Transatlantic Affair as the Scottlight Set in hour two is curated in Florida, and the rest of the show is curated, recorded, and produced here in the Czech Republic. To that end, both Mags &…

DeepDives: Return To Prague, Hi-Tech AOR & Melodic Rock
After seven months away, I’m thrilled to be back in Prague—home to Magdalena, my beautiful wife-to-be, and a welcoming new side of the family. At the same time, I’m excited to refocus on curating and creating fresh episodes of Dives for your ears to enjoy. I started the curation process on the...
-
DeepDives: 80's Hi-Tech & AOR
I've forgotten just how much work goes into making these shows! 😁 This will be the last retro Dive for the far foreseeable future. Starting next week, I'll put out a new show every other week. That’s a promise. I already have the next Dive curated and sequenced. Look for it by Wednesday or...
-
DeepDives: AOR & Melodic Rock, 85-93
Greetings from the Czech Republic & the beautiful city of Prague. This, for all intents and purposes, should be my last “Retro Dive” for the foreseeable future. I'll be working this week on a brand new episode for your ears to enjoy. I am so looking forward to curating again. I miss it quite a…

DeepDives: 80's AOR, Melodic Rock, Hi-Tech, & Westcoast Mix Tape
Here is one of the last "Retro" Dives episodes before my move to Prague next week. For this Dive, I've chosen an episode from way back in January of 2021. It kicks off with my favorite Quiet Riot song from easily my favorite Quiet Riot album, 1986's QRIII. I have one, maybe two, more "Retro"…
more -
"Not So" DeepDives: 80's Melodic Rock & AOR
For this week's retro escape, I've chosen an episode from the tail end of the year 2021. These are definitely songs you know, probably like the back of your hand. While most of my episodes explore the out-of-the-way watering holes, this one is like going to the beach. Going to the beach with a...
-
DeepDives: (Retro) 80's Covers Monday Night Mix Tape
As my time here in Tampa grows short, I'm finding it increasingly difficult to complete the voiceovers I wanted to record for these next few shows. As I'm sending over my equipment next week, I've had to bank the next few weeks' shows until my first Dive in June, and recording four or five...
-
DeepDives (Retro): AOR & Melodic Rock, 2000-2010
Welcome, my friends. I'm back with a retro episode from November of 2020. This episode marked my first time back behind the mic with BoomRadio💥💣after a short stint with Radioactive Radio. Listening to this Dive over the weekend while I worked on my move to Prague was an absolute joy for my…

DeepDives: Bruce Springsteen - Covering Them
What a week it has been, and it's only just started. I felt inspired this week to make my first "New" Dive in a good couple of months. However, there is a catch...I didn't have time to create an intro and...wait for it...it's a very niche episode...Bruce Springsteen covering the global jukebox....
-
DeepDives: 70's Melodic Rock, AOR & Hard Rock
For this week's classic retro Dive offering, we are diving off the waters of 70's Melodic Rock, AOR & Hard Rock. This episode was curated and created back in February 2021. Next week, we will be back with an episode focusing on some of the killer music produced over the last twenty years or so.…

DeepDives: 1980-1992 AOR, Melodic Rock & A Lot of West Coast
Here is this week's dive into the past, made way back in December of 2020. For this episode, I really lean into West Coast, be it straight-up traditional or with an AOR twist. Either way, I sure hope you enjoy this week's offering. I'll be back here next week for another classic DeepDives for…
more -
DeepDives: 90's Melodic Rock & AOR
For this week's classic episode of Deep Dives, I've revisited a show I curated in the summer of 2020. An episode celebrating some of my favorite Melodic Rock & AOR from the decade. All the artists you enjoy in an 80's Dive are here making some outstanding music in a much-maligned decade. Enjoy my...
-
DeepDives: Melodic Rock Mix Tape
This week's offering is bookended with two sets from the recently passed Chris Rea. One of my favorite musical artists, I discovered him properly in 1988 through his album, New Light Through Old Windows. After an opening two-song set from Rea, I play you a show I recorded back in 2021. For this...
-
DeepDives: AOR, Melodic Rock & Hi-Tech - 1985-1993
This week's retro Dive is from January 14th, 2022. In this and future episodes until my first new Dive in Prague, I'll include a song before my newly recorded intro to set the tone. As with last week's offering, I let the show play out after the new introduction. I hope you enjoy this blast from...

DeepDives: Melodic Rock, AOR, & Hi-Tech
Hello friends. I'm back with another Dive for your ears to enjoy. This episode was initially recorded in February 2022. “Reasonably” loaded, (back when I was friends with editing) 😁, with some killer Hi-Tech Melodic Rock & AOR for your ears to enjoy. As was the case last week, I recorded a new...
-
DeepDives: Eddie Van Halen Tribute Show
Hello there, my friends. This is coming much later than I would have liked, but...much earlier than I was thinking even this morning. Today I found an old laptop that contained all my Dive shows from 2019 to early 2023. I was truly wondering when I could get a new product out, as packing is a lot...
-
DeepDives: Led Zeppelin Inspired, 1972-1925
I'm finally back with a new #DeepDives, the first proper episode of 2026. I've used the monster band Led Zeppelin as inspiration. Some of these artists and bands might wear their influence a little more obviously than others, but it's all in there. Almost all of these artists have appeared in...
-
DeepDives: Best Of 2025, Part Two
Happy New Year, my friends! As promised, here is the second hour of my "Best Of 2025 DeepDives". The offerings were so plentiful in 2025 that I decided to produce the show in two separate sections to allow the music to be heard in a more manageable listening experience. Enjoy over two and a half...

DeepDives: The Return
After a few hit-and-miss weeks traveling to and from the Czech Republic I'm back with a proper DeepDives for your ears to enjoy as we're back in the fertile diving waters off the 1980s and early 1990s. This show was put together during one long plane ride from Zurich to Tampa. Holy cow, do I ever...
-
DeepDives: Ace Frehley Tribute Show
Two weeks ago I lost one of my greatest friends. On that same day I also lost one of my greatest musical heroes. This is an episode I never wanted to have to make. Certainly not under these circumstances. My friend James and I saw KISS back in '92 on the Revenge tour. Long after Ace had left the...
-
DeepDives: A Little Traveling Music
After a month long break DeepDives is back with a show built around the theme of "Traveling". As I'm broadcasting from the beautiful city of Prague here in the Czech Republic, I thought that particular theme would be most appropriate. All the regular Dive genres are represented spanning the late...
-
DeepDives: Disco Dance Party, Round II
Once again, I bring to your ears a collection of Disco songs you'll be hard-pressed to find anywhere else. It's been two years since my last Disco Dance Party, and I knew it was time to drop down that old glitter ball! As in round one, there are certainly some ringers, but even then, they are...

I'm back, my friends, with a sonic buffet for your ears to devour. This episode of Dives is jam-packed with Melodic Rock goodness. There are some Rock and Pop. A taste of Heartland. A heaping helping of AOR and we bit of Westcoast. I hope you enjoy, and I'll see you back here for the next new...

I'm back with a brand new episode of DeepDives for your ears to enjoy. Before the show starts properly, I pay tribute to The Prince of Darkness, Ozzy Osbourne, who passed away today at 76. He's shown up on more than a few occasions here on Dives & he will be missed. Afterwards, it's on to the…

-
DeepDives: AOR & Melodic Rock, 1983-1992
After a couple of episodes in some different waters I've sailed us back to a much more familiar diving hole, 1980's Melodic Rock and AOR. 1983 through 1992 to be specific. This episode is filled with songs I've not played in years along with several you haven't heard at all on a Dive. Sit back,...
-
The DeepDives Tribute to Brian Wilson
Last week we lost one of my musical heroes, Brian Wilson. Ever since I put to bed last week's Live Dive, I've been listening to Brian's music pretty much nonstop. I thought I'd wait to put out a tribute show celebrating Brian's music, but my ears and heart just wouldn't let me. So, it's with a...
-
DeepDives: Live, Summer 2025
Here's my latest escape. For this episode of DeepDives I've collected some of my favorite live songs pulled from decades of concerts both common and quite hard to find. I've taken great care in sequencing these songs as to flow in and out of each other creating (hopefully) a most enjoyable...
-
DeepDives: Hot Ones
As the start of summer is just around the corner later this month I thought now would be a good time to put out the sequel to January's Cold Ones Dive. All the songs revolve around the theme of 'Heat". 🔥 All the usual DeepDives formats are in here spanning the years 1979 through 2022. I hope you...
-
DeepDives: AOR & Melodic Rock, 1982 - 1995
My friends, here's this week's offering. A 1982 through 1995 Dive featuring AOR, Melodic Rock, Hard Rock, Hi-Tech & a smidge of WestCoast. This was a fun episode to put together. I added a few songs that might not necessarily be all that deep but they sure aren't ones you'll hear on the radio...
-
DeepDives: Hi-Tech AOR, Melodic Rock & Pop - 1984 - 1994 (Corrected)
This is the corrected version of this week's show. I played the wrong, Living In A Box, song and that mistake was driving me nuts. 😁 After a week spent playing WestCoast I was chomping at the bit to transition into some Hi-Tech. This episode has a little bit of Hi-tech everything, all between…

DeepDives: Hi-Tech AOR, Melodic Rock & Pop - 1984 - 1994
After a week spent playing WestCoast I was chomping at the bit to transition into some Hi-Tech. This episode has a little bit of Hi-tech everything, all between the years 1984 through 1994. Hi-Tech AOR, Melodic Rock, Classic Rock, Pop & R&B. These are the salad years of Hi-Tech, and everyone was...
-
DeepDives: WestCoast-ish II
Here's another round of some of my favorite WestCoast songs spanning the last six decades, from 1977 through to just a couple of weeks ago. Some might say they don't make music like this anymore. I hope with this episode I'll be able to prove those folks wrong. Enjoy, my friends and I'll see you...

DeepDives: Melodic Rock & AOR, 2000 - 2024

-
DeepDives: Ladies' Night, 1971 - 2025
I'm back with a Ladies's Night episode of DeapDives for your ears to enjoy. 🎶 This week every song features a lady's name in the title. Most of the time it's the only word in the title. For specialty themed shows I typically relax the song and artist paramotors and this episode was no exception....

DeepDives: Polished AOR & Melodic Rock Round III, '83-'93
Enjoy my friends. Here's the third part in an unintentional three-part series exploring the harder side of Dives. Last week I had a cataract removed from my left eye. Next week the right eye gets its turn. I'm not getting older, I'm just getting better. 😁 While this week I'm able to bring to you…

DeepDives: Polished AOR & Melodic Rock Round II, '82-'92
Here's another Dive off the waters of Polished AOR & Melodic Rock. This week we're keeping it between the navigational buoys of 1982 and 1992. Once again, while the guitars may not be dialed up to eleven, they are just a tad more raucous than even the last week's excursion. My friends, I hope you...
