Hi. I’m Jason Boucher.

I hosted a weekly radio show for almost 30 years, beginning way back in college at WUNH 91.3 FM, then at WSCA 106.1 FM, with some guest-host appearances along the way on Noods Radio UK and other spots.

I’m a former contributor to HuffPost and the creator of this Substack newsletter.

I’ve been collecting music since I was eight. My dad always had the latest hi-fi equipment, so we’d buy one LP weekly and two Maxell UR-90 cassettes to record the album. One was for my Sanyo boombox, and the other was for his pickup truck. I’ve been obsessed with music ever since... I blame my father.

I spent four years working in a record store as an indie buyer, and I was a ‘90s college radio nerd. I have over 4,000 vinyl albums in my collection, and I love putting the needle on the record.

This newsletter is for those who still appreciate the art of a great album. It’s a simple, relaxed space pairing thoughtful music reviews and curated playlists with good books, my travel notes, and coffee culture.

Pull up a chair and discover your next favorite soundtrack.

“When you hear music, after it’s over, it’s gone, in the air. You can never capture it again.” – Eric Dolphy
