The future of Internet radio is in immediate danger. Royalty rates for web casters have been drastically increased by a recent ruling and are due to go into effect on July 15 (retroactive to Jan 1, 2006!). This could put a majority of Internet Radio providers out of business as well as your favorite radio stations who can’t pay the retroactive bills.
To protest these rates I encourage you, the millions of net radio, public and commercial radio listeners to take action and contact your Congressional representatives! Listen to Fred’s interview with Jason Stoddard.
The bills you want to see pass are: S-1353 in the Senate and HR-2060 in the House.

Jen Foster surprised me late last year with her latest CD ‘The Under Dogs’. Quite simply, it’s extremely usual for an artist to put out her first serious recording and have it sound like her 9th or 10th. Veteran material all the way!
She falls into the extremely gifted category that I don’t run into everyday.
When I heard she was touring, I called her management and asked them to send Jen to the FM Odyssey studios for an interview.
She showed up not knowing what to expect and by the time it was over we knew in just that one short hour, in front of an entire nation, we had become friends for life. Click on the Listen Now button above to have a listen.
If you like what you hear, and would like to obtain a copy of “The Under Dogs” visit Jen’s website to add the CD to your private library.

It’s easy to say, in retrospect, that the interview I did with Denny Doherty from the Mama’s & Papa’s, was one of the very best interviews I’ve ever done in my 16 year career as the host of FM Odyssey, but it was!
It was a serendipitous moment. It was March of 2003 and Denny came to visit me at the FM Odyssey studios for a 20 minute interview as he was on his way to a recording session in Orlando, FL.
While the tape was rolling, Denny received a phone call telling him his recording session was canceled; he looked at me and said, “I have no place to go” and I said, “I have so much more to ask about”. And the FM Odyssey retrospective of the Mama’s & Papa’s became history. Without a net, for two hours, the tape never stopped rolling and neither did we! As you listen, keep in mind there were no post production edits. What you’ll hear in this interview is everything, just the way it happened.The connection we had with each other spills out in this show. He was funny and witty and I guarantee you won’t stop laughing for days after you hear this. The real facts about the history of the Mama’s and Papa’s have never been told like this before. Thank you, Denny, for sharing a brief sliver of your life with me.I am glad, in my own sadness, that you are finally reunited with Mama Cass and Papa John Phillips. Make sure you have some new music to share with me when I finally join you.
Love, Fred
PS. “this is the best interview I’ve ever done” - Denny Doherty - March, 2003
This program has 2 parts, double click on the upper arrow for part 1 and the lower arrow for part 2.
One of my favorites. I call this show “Judy Collins Forever In a Day” because that is exactly how it felt to me.
Picture a Saturday morning in your neighborhood. It’s a bright sunny day when all of a sudden a black, stretch limo pulls up in front of your house!
All the nosey neighbors have their heads peaking from behind their living room curtains, thinking, What is Fred Migliore up to now? Then all of a sudden, Judy Collins gets out of the limo, her Suite: “Judy Blue Eyes” shimmering in the morning sun as she bounds her way up Fred’s driveway in to his house and then the magic begins!
There we were, Fred Migliore and Judy Collins, sitting on the piano bench, shoulder to shoulder. And then comes the count: three, two, one. The mics are open and history begins once again on FM Odyssey.
Judy and I recorded over four hours of this interview, (which we painfully edited down to two hours). We talked about her first performance in New York, her first encounter with Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohan and the legacy she has created over the past five decades.
Pure goose bumps. The right place, the right time.
This award-winning FM Odyssey show has aired on close to 400 stations to date.

There are some shows on FM Odyssey that just speak for themselves; they don’t have to be interviews or theme shows, just a potpourri of what we do best every week for 15 years on FM Odyssey. A mix of old and new. Sit back, relax and click on the upper arrow for part one and then click on the lower arrow for part two.
The episode is January 1, 2007. The music acts as a soundtrack to help us reflect on what worked in our lives in 2006 and what didn’t, and what we can learn from it to chart a better course for the new year. Host and Executive Producer, Fred Migliore, has been producing FM Odyssey weekly since 1991. FM ODYSSEY re-creates the lost art of the true freeform, FM format that your baby-boomer listeners knew and loved (and wouldn’t mind hearing again). FM ODYSSEY maintains this format by blending rarely played cuts from long-standing artists with new and emerging singer/songwriters. The result is substantially more than a folk show, more expansive and diverse than Adult Album Alternative, and not even closely related to an oldies or classic rock format. FM ODYSSEY has created a surprising new element that must be heard to be believed. To hear part one click on the upper arrow, to listen to part two click on the lower arrow.
“Since we first met a decade ago, I have counted Fred Migliore among the best and most talented people I know in the field of radio”.
