We’re joined this month by singer-songwriter, guitarist, drummer, writer, and editor Zachary Bernstein. When he’s not drumming for friends of the show Velodrone, you can find him biking to work, making music as The Bicycats, or writing musicals. Now, he’s adding marathon podcaster to his list of talents. We’re talking long songs, how fitting.

• Featured Songs:
  • “The Soft Parade” by The Doors
  • “Desolation Row” by Bob Dylan
  • “Humpty Dance” by The Digital Underground
