About
Phil Shirakawa
I’m a radio professional, award winning community radio programmer, music nerd, loving husband and father of two wonderful children. I’ve operated this blog since 2011, home to my musings about new music and for The Album Drop, an award-winning (recently retired) new music radio show for the community radio sector.
