Old School Bleep

Damon Soper and Scott Faingold share their podcast project, "Old School Bleep!" It's a look back at the Springfield-area local music scene of the 80s and 90s. It sprung from an archive of VHS video tapes of their early days as musicians. Jeff Williams is also one of the hosts.

The audio includes a sample of Episode V.
