Alternative Milestones

Alternative Milestones Episode 111 – Take 2!

Thu, Mar 19, 2026

I’m still not quite sure what happened last week while I was away.  All I know is that the archive of the show is 2 hours of silence.  If that’s what went out over the air, or over the web stream, I apologize for that.  Obviously there are still kinks that need to be worked out at the new studio.

So what I’ve decided to do this week is combine the personal event milestones from last week with the cream of the crop of this week’s milestone tunes.

Hour 1 of this show will be from the week of 3/6 thru 3/12 – birthdays and in memoriam tracks.  Then Hour 2 will be milestones of all types from this past week.

I’ll be in-studio so hopefully things will be less kinky.
