The Walter Martin Radio Hour airs Sunday nights at 8pm on WEXT 97.1/106.1 upstate NY. New episodes appear weekly on this Substack.
As a teenager in the early 90’s, the rock ‘n’ roll fantasy of the 1960’s loomed large in my mind and (to my parents’ horror) I did my best to live it out — especially in the summertime. So on this week’s episode, we explore some of the summer music that set me off.
My summer playlist throughout the years is pretty huge (and we’ll get to more of it in time) but I tried to lay out the major themes here: bad behavior and loud rock ‘n’ roll. We also get into some hippie vibes and some dancehall and eventually into some comfort food and Bruce slow jams and stuff like that — think of it as a leisurely summer meander.
I had a blast making this episode and I’m sure I’ll go further into this stuff in the future. But we’ll have wait till next summer because, as we all know, you cannot listen to hippie rock after Labor Day.
Thanks for listening!

As always, I don’t do any prep research or Googling for these shows, I just use information that’s either in my head or on the record sleeve in front of me. So please enjoy some occasional old-school imprecise information. And please send me any corrections, comments, questions, requests or complaints.
You can add the podcast version of this radio show to Apple podcasts from my Substack and it’ll update weekly (that’s what I’d do).
