On this episode of the podcast, I highlight some of my favorite albums from 2023, including both new releases and reissued and archival titles. I posted a list of 50 of my favorite albums of the year right here on the Free Form Freakout website, and over the two hours of this show I cover quite a few from that list but certainly not all, so I’d encourage you to check that out if any of this piques your interest. As for the new year ahead, I plan to carry on with the podcast show as usual, so I hope you’ll check back. Feel free to get in touch if you have any comments or questions. As always, thanks for looking and listening.
