Homeruns from Hiroshima, hip-hop and a Hall & Oates hybrid and that's just the alliteration accolades! From Southern Japan, it's another half-an-hour of a deep dive into the city pop, funk, doo-wop and soul from a 1960s-80s Japan. Good? Child
From a gorgeous apartment overlooking the bay in Southern Japan, it’s yet another deep dive into the beautiful bins of a 1950s-80s Tokyo and beyond, with not one, but two of those incredible City Pop tracks, a big-band, throwback, some sixties
From an expensive-and-unplanned hotel room in Osaka comes a deep-dive into all things 60s, 70s and early 80s Japan. A few tracks explaining "kawaii", to crooners you'll know of, but probably not know (we'll change that), to some husky female v
Coming to you from the Pink City of Jaipur, India, it's probably the world's best Sunday Morning Gospel, Blues, Funk and Soul podcast coming to you from Jaipur, India. Featuring haunting vocals from Son House, the lady who invented rock n' rol
What was supposed to be—supposed being to key word here—the world's first ever Sunday Morning Wake-Me-Up Podcast recorded from Everest Base Camp ended up just being from Kathmandu and host Aric S. Queen just talking about it WE'RE SORRY but to
Tulsa Time. Keys To Tulsa. Chandler moves to Tulsa. Our little city has occasionally popped up in pop culture, but few are aware that town has its own subgenre of music . In this week’s Rough Sundays, we deep dive into the casserole that makes
In the 17 years this show has been around, we’ve never done a Sunday morning wake-me-up from the state of Oklahoma. What gives, right? This week, we remedy that with an extra long show, featuring music exclusively from the 46th state, featurin
From right up against Route 66 and in the midst of much mirth, it's our 81st episode and our yearly Christmas Extravaganza! Reaching back way, way into the good old stuff—even turn of the century tracks—all holiday-themed and mostly-Motown...
Has there ever been a more researched, prepped, planned and causing-excitement show? Probably. But never on this podcast. For the final (for now) Japanese Chapter—recorded in a tiny ryokan atop audible tatami mats—we dive into city pop, brothe
From the base of Mt. Fuji and from inside one of those space capsule hotels, it's five tracks from a hip, rocking, steamy, racy, swingin' 1950-70s Japan, featuring a seedy actress, anime theme song producer, Tokyo's Serge Gainsbourg and the al
From a gorgeous Osaka and an even-more-gorgeous no-longer-freezing-in-a-tent, it's your absolutely favorite Sunday Morning show. This week, we dive deep, deep into old vinyl—journeying everywhere from a boogie-woogie 1940s Tokyo, to protests t
A traveling show this week—one from the park, the ferry, the tent and the hotel—but it doesn't stop us from digging up some of the goodness from a 1960s-80s Japan. Funk + soul kicks it off, some near-electro, then to country + folk, then summe
The colors might be starting to change here in Hokkaido, but the purpose of the show isn't—to wake you up nicely on your Sunday Morning, courtesy of music from wherever we are. And what a where we be! The magic, mysterious and mayhem-ic Japan.
From a farm outside of Hokkaido, it's the first of what we hope are many shows from Japan. We kick it off with some Tokyo soul from the early 70s, then move from pop-princess turned disco queen, to sultry swing, funk from the early 80s and a
From a tiny island south of South Korea, it's probably the best Sunday Morning wake-me-up show featuring old gospel, jazz, funk and blues coming to you from a tiny island south of South Korea. Some Pacific religion, feel-good Doris Day, songs
High above the Mekong in the gorgeous old town of Luang Prabang, Laos comes 25 minutes of a proper Sunday morning wake-me-up, featuring not one, but two Queens of New Orleans, gay black British poets, some gospel from 1917, a recently lost vo
Coming to you from high atop the Pokhara Mountains, Nepal, it's totally Rough Sundays, you guys! We dive into much goodness—including France's last great troubadour, the lady who made Bob Dylan, old Trinidadian Calypso by way of a 1940s Harl
Coming to you from the famed Apostle Studios in Pokhara, Nepal, it’s your hopefully favorite Sunday Morning wake-me-up show! We start with some new Haitian, go back 102 years to New Orleans, a track you only know from the sample, a little tick
Hardly a show to set your clock to—our first in five months and second in the past year—but still probably the best Sunday Morning wake-me-up coming to you from the Northern suburbs of Kathmandu.We start with a bit of French influenced pop
What was thought to have been 4 months since the last show has actually been 7—the last episode coming from Namibia—and who knows why it started back up again this morning… but here we are. A newer track to kick things off, a bit of half-Frenc
From a theres-a-mamba-on-the-loose campsite in a tiny strip of land that borders five countries, it’s a proper (African) wake-me-up, featuring 1960’s Guinean orchestras, Senegalese serenades, one of Ethiopia’s best performing live in Paris, a
From Namibia’s infamous Skeleton Coast, it’s the greatest Sunday morning podcast coming from Namibia’s infamous Skeleton Coast! We kick things off with some Cape Town Flowers via Abdullah Ibrahim, and then get back into the magic of Soweto, th

The final show from Cape Town before we leave for the distant barren lands of Namibia, featuring some of the best Sunday Morning African Music you’ll ever hear… in one place, at least. From a 1970s Senegal to literally the happiest song ever r
