Dr. Joe's Groove
January 18 2026 08:00AM (Eastern Standard Time)
Dr. Joe Lex offers a radio show for nostalgic OCDs. Each episode features news and music (mostly jazz) from exactly 60 years ago this week in the first hour. Second hour more free-form, like old late-1960s FM. Maybe music collected in his world travels. Maybe highlighting a particular artist or genre. Maybe 10 versions of the same song. Maybe best covers of another artist's songs. It's sort of free-form, but always entertaining and probably educational.
