Episode 172 – We’re Back! (And Now on Video) After a two-year hiatus, 94twenty is finally back! In Episode 172, we ease back into the podcasting world, catch up on where we’ve been, talk about the journey that brought us back, and introduce the new video version of the show. No deep dives, no industry rants (yet) — just the girl, some guy, and the other guy getting comfortable behind the microphones and in front of the cameras again. This month’s featured artist is Carl Allocco, and we’ll be spinning a few tracks while sharing some stories and setting the stage for what’s ahead. Whether you’re a longtime listener or discovering 94twenty for the first time, we’re glad you’re here.
