  1. The No-Penney Opera Episode 15 - This Is Dedicated To The One I Love

    So, Mary and I are hitting the big 25 in a few days. Sadly, this is the best gift I could think of... 67 minutes | Download Episode 15

  2. The No-Penney Opera Episode 14 - Music To Speed By Part 2: Nighttime

    Even weirder than getting one episode up after less than a year: getting TWO episodes up. So, more fast music suitable for driving. Fast. 48 minutes | Download Episode 14

  3. The No-Penney Opera Episode 13 - Music To Speed By Part 1: Daytime

    Amazingly I've got a new episode in less than a year since the last one. Clearly a sign of the end times. Anyway, this is a collection of fast music suitable for driving. Fast. 46 minutes | Download Episode 13

  4. The No-Penney Opera Episode 12 - All That Jazz

    After a delay of about 3 and a half years, I've finally recorded a new show. This episode features a whole set of jazz and lounge covers of rock and pop classics. Yep, it's about par for the course around here. 52 minutes | Download Episode 12

  5. The No-Penney Opera Episode 11 - The Mahna Mahnadcast

  6. The No-Penney Opera Episode 10 - A Child's Garden of Funk

    Inspired by the children's TV programming of my childhood, I have gathered together a variety of child-focused and child-friendly funk. Yep, it's as cool as it sounds. 62 minutes | Download Episode 10

  7. The No-Penney Opera Episode 9 - Happy Fort Day!

    ...or Fortsmas, for our listeners across the pond. This episode is a tribute to famed anomalist Charles Fort, born August 6 (or 8) 1874, with songs reflective of his work and legacy. In otherwords, goofy. NOTE: Due to an error on my part, the host segments were recorded at a very low bit-rate…

  9. The No-Penney Opera Episode 7 - It's the Most Musical Time of the Year

  12. The No-Penney Opera Episode 4 - Welcome to Tally Hall!

  15. The No-Penney Opera Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace

    Yeah, dumb joke, but until I do Episode 2, this is mostly just a phantom. Anyway, I can't guarantee that the audio quality of this effort will work out real well, but here goes nothing. 45 minutes | Download Episode 1
