HI. I’m Jason Boucher.

Until recently, I was the host of a weekly radio show for almost 30 years, beginning way back in college at WUNH 91.3 FM, then with WSCA 106.1 FM, and some guest-host appearances along the way with Noods Radio UK and Soundwaves. I’m a former blogger and contributor to HuffPost and the creator of this newsletter and website.

I’ve been collecting music since I was six. 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 to play on my Sanyo boombox, and the other was for his pickup truck. I’ve been obsessed with music 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 pieces of vinyl in my record collection, and I love putting the needle on the record.

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