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.
