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.

Baseball Scuffles, Rock Collections & Battling Parkinson's (Feat. Terry Hanson)

Episode 141: This week the show welcomes my uncle Terry to the program! And we'll be discussing everything from playing baseball and getting into a number of scuffles back in the day, his past jobs working as a geologist and later as a teacher, and his passions of hiking, skiing and collecting unique minerals. We also talk about how he just missed getting drafted into Vietnam, his past relationships over the years to meeting his current wife Geneva. And we talk about his ongoing battle with Parkinson's.
