Podcast
The Yank Sizzler
Hosted by The Yank Sizzler · EN
Welcome.
This podcast series is
inspired by the life of
John Peel.
John reached millions of
people around the world with
his 40 plus years of
broadcasting that was carried
on BBC Radio 1 and the
BBC World Service. You could
hear Peel everywhere from
mainland Europe, India, Africa
to the USA and of course
all over the British Isles.
The name refers to what
John would sometimes call
American songs. Since this
podcast originates from
Lawrence, Kansas in the heart
of the USA, I figured it was
only just to call it The Yank Sizzler.
You'll be able to listen to
everything great I get my
hands on, from studio tracks,
private live recordings, online only
exclusives to forgotten
vinyl gems.
The point is to allow people
to listen to great music
regardless of commercial intent.
So from Lawrence, KS to London,
England and everywhere we can
possibly reach, let us remember
what it's like to play music
without boundaries and restrictions.
If you have the time please leave
a comment, good or bad.
And if you find a
song you love, please use
the provided links
to purchase the artist's music.
Always support the music.
Thanks
