Hey gang, Jason here. As you may already know, I’m Portuguese so the launch of IR Portugal is near to my heart and brilliant to my ears. Rodrigo brings a truly authentic representation of Portuguese music and culture to the masses with his show. I wanted to throw his first episode down the feed for you to enjoy, but please go subscribe to the RSS feed at http://feeds.feedburner.com/irportugal – Episode 2 is headed your way next week.

Every other Monday we’ll do something a little different on the IR feed. Let’s call this one a ”Side B” to Insomnia Radio #169. Within, we feature 2 more tracks from the talented Benjy Davis Project – appropriate, since we’re giving away FIVE copies of their upcoming March 2nd release “Lost Souls Like Us.”

Enjoy the dusty, folk/americana goodness – and let us know what you think about the name “Monday Minisodes!”
