The Josh and Friends Podcast
Broadcasting since the boombox days.
The Josh & Friends Podcast is the heart of this channel — a monthly deep dive into music, memories, and the people who shaped my life. From award-winning college journalism and Seattle radio (KISW, KZOK, KBSG) to Studio 12A in Phoenix, I’ve spent decades behind the mic documenting the soundtrack of our lives.
Along the way, this channel has grown into a living archive — featuring curated music playlists (including viral favorites with millions of views), conversations with radio personalities and lifelong friends, firsthand stories from Woodstock to Vietnam, game day traditions, nostalgia travel features, and the everyday moments that turn into lifelong memories.
Because everyone has a story — and every era has a soundtrack.
And as always… thank you for being a friend.

Episode 118: This week Ethan McDonald joins the program live in person! And in honor of our 30-year class reunion, we've decided to take a stroll down memory lane about the old days. During this episode, Ethan takes over and flips the script on me to ask a few questions about our old days back in high school. As well as a list of some of my favorite songs from each year we were in school.
