Mental Nomad Podcast 170: Just When You Least Expect It

Podcast Episode Summary

A mixed bag today; we start out with blues and jazz, amp up to some rock, then course-correct halfway through to take on a more chilled atmosphere before ending where we began.

The Todd Koal track in today's episode is available as a free download; the artist will donate $1 per download (up to $500) for relief efforts in Japan. And the Anji Bee/LoveSpirals tracks in today's show are all part of the free sampler marking five years of The Chillcast.
