The String

The String is weekly think radio featuring conversations and features on culture, media and American music - anchored by veteran journalist and broadcaster Craig Havighurst. Music makers, enablers, instigators and documentarians are featured with enough time to go deep and burrow into issues, while letting the music play too. Music news, previews, Time Machine Tape and 90 Second Spins round out the hour.

Look forward to every episode!

I can’t believe what a good interviewer Craig is. His questions are insightful and thoughtful, and he obviously puts guests at ease with his easy manner. His critiques are intelligent and make me want to go out and buy music from almost everyone he talks with or about. Keep it up, Craig!

Jerry Garcia episode is a classic

The Jerry Garcia episode is the best podcast episode (of any type) this year. The three part structure, interviews and analysis are supurb. Lots of great new info here. I’m keeping this episode and telln’ all my friends about it. Tks.

Good, good stuff

Craig Havighurst is one of the smartest guys around and, luckily for us, he's not afraid to show it. He also has great taste in music. Tie those two things together and, yeah, that's the String.
