Season 1: 'What the... Country?' launching in 3 days!


The Midnight Banjo Show proudly presents...

Season 1: What the... Country?


If you have already listened to Episode '0', which was intended as the introduction to the show, its format and... mission, you already know that future episodes will be divided into seasons. Here's some information about what to expect of the first season.


Each episode will be divided into distinct segments, including but not limited to the following:

  • The Story Teaser (first part of the allotted story), featuring an excerpt from the 'Lore of the Wild West', written by yours truly
  • The Intro, with a brief welcome message and a preview of the topic of the day, as well as any updates
  • The Main Body, which is the bulk part of the episode, dedicated to a specific topic of focus
  • Story Time: where you hear the rest of the allotted story, usually the rest of the chapter if not too long
Season One is dedicated to the various subgenres of Country Music, each one of which will be allocated its own episode.

At the end of the season, there will be a Finale Special, featuring an interview with a real 'Cowboy' or 'Cowgirl'.

But I ain't gonna spoil any of that for you fo the time being (or ever!), so...

Stay tuned for more!

The Midnight Banjo Show: A New Spin On Country Music Podcasting Coming Soon!

Image
Howdy to all the Country Music Lovers in the world from the  headquarters of the brand new show that promises to take the world of Country Music Podcasting by storm! The Midnight Banjo Show is a podcast that aims to unite passionate Country listeners from all the corners of the world, popularizing the genre on a global level, bringing it from the underground to the mainstream of music culture in places where it does not enjoy the attention it deserves. One such place is my own homeland, Greece, where plenty of Country Music legends such as George Strait and the late Johnny Cash have a dedicated fan base. Yet, this genre is hardly the talk of the town and there are plenty of people here who have never even seen or touched a banjo in real life! And like Greece, there are plenty of other countries in Europe, Asia and many other geographical regions where us Western lore-lovin' creatures are a starved minority. Starved for understanding and... kinship. The kind that can only be achieve...

But don’t worry, you will get your answer either way: The painted lady- Samantha , she corrects your- turns her back against you in defiance (but you also feel a strange aura of protection emanating from that gesture) and faces the… audience. Yes, you already begin to think of them this way. The show is about to begin! She announces, to which the deafening silence responds by… leaving the room, succeeded by an enthusiastic cheer. At this very moment, all the patrons of the establishment, including the few little kids that are here, begin to bang their forks, spoons or any other form of cutlery they might have against their plates and/or glasses. Even those standing up try to contribute to the noise, by ...
