Been promising this one for a minute. I am, by no means, a deep disco head (that particular well runs incredibly deep) but I do respect/appreciate it. These aren’t my absolute favorite cuts but randomly selected ones that I think do a good job of showcasing the diversity of the genre.

Great episode – thanks for finding the time to put these together. I appreciate the didactic format of this series that goes beyond reading liner notes between cuts.
Maybe it’s the Special Ed induced nostalgia, but now I need a copy of Miss Broadway on my shelf.
So happy to see you back at it– great episode, looking forward to catching up!
