To kick off our batch of episodes devoted to all the music our dad listened to when we were growing up, we talk to the man himself about his time as a radio DJ in the 70s and 80s. And on top of that, we listen to some music off The Cars debut record and talk bout how perfectly they merged new wave, punk, and synth rock. We even dig up a tune from Orr and Ocasek's prior folk-rock Crosby, Stills, and Nash-esque band, Milkwood.
