Music Virgins No More
This podcast is based on co-host John Schlarbaum’s pubescent memories of the Top 40 between 1979 – 1982 when he created 106 weekly music charts alone in his bedroom in Southwestern Ontario.
Co-host Jason Cabanaw, 20 years younger, discovers, sometimes for the first time, music and bands he was unaware of.
