Why listen

The Rock and Roll Geek Show is Michael Butler's long-running, proudly opinionated rock diary, mixing album track-by-track reviews, concert reports, listener calls, road stories, and deep-cut fandom. It is loose, personal, and fan-driven, the kind of show for listeners who want classic rock, punk, glam, hard rock, and live-show talk from someone who lives inside the music rather than around it.
