For over eight years, Bondfire Radio was my home away from home, a place where I built community with a number of immensely talented people. It was the place where I learned how to celebrate the successes of others and how to truly be a team player while championing music from unsigned, independent and major label artists as both a broadcaster and a music director. Being a part of #teamBondfire was everything to me and I was gutted when it was announced that the station's end was unavoidable. Our last broadcast day was on Saturday, December 30, 2023, and I truly believe that we went out on top. That entire day was absolutely magical and I'm sure that a number of us involved are still trying to process what it all meant to us as individuals and as a collective.

With my Bondfire broadcast days behind me, I wanted to revisit an earlier episode from 2016. In an attempt to bring the BSOTS on Bondfire broadcast experience to the podcast feed, I thought it would be wise to share some of the indie cuts that I was playing on the station during my first year. It's a fun mix of tunes with some special guests along the way that offers an accurate overview of what my early broadcasts were like. This one's for my Bondfire family and for anyone that never got the chance to hear my broadcasts live while the station was still around. Best believe that I am #teamBondfire for life!
