What people are saying about Insomnia Radio:

"The show has the spirit of FM radio, circa 1969." Business Week ..

"Podcasts mix nerdy awkwardness with gems you would never stumble across on the FM dial. On Insomnia Radio, host Jason Evangelho confesses, "I'm talking really quietly tonight because my family is sleeping upstairs." Then he proceeds to play one of the coolest songs you've never heard: "Signing Emo," a spot-on parody of the music industry by MC Lars." Wired Magazine

"Jason Evangelho runs one of the top independent music-oriented podcasts, Insomnia Radio (insomniaradio.net)"
