Michael Calore: I think so.
Lauren Goode: Deyong. It’s correct. ALRIGHT. Well, what’s your recommendation for this week?
Michael Calore: My recommendation is Fault Radio, a Bay Area nonprofit that broadcasts DJ sets and live sets by underground electronic music artists.
Lauren Goode: Is it called Fault because it has a bug?
Michael Calore: Yeah yeah yeah. YES.
Lauren Goode: It really is.
Michael Calore: We live in a seismically active area in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Lauren Goode: Yes, we do.
Michael Calore: They chose that to name their radio station. I highly recommend the YouTube channel, which goes live. Each DJ gig or live performance usually lasts about an hour, an hour, and 15 minutes. It’s really interesting. They have people playing techno, drums and bass, acid house, weird avant-garde music.
It’s a mix of all different genres of electronic music, artists from all over the world. Not just the people of the Bay Area, but of course the people of the Bay Area. If you watch YouTube streams, you can watch videos, it’s just a regular person turning the buttons and jumping a little. Or you can leave it in an open tab and listen to it, that’s what I do.
YES. I would highly recommend it. They are also on SoundCloud and you can find their streams there. They post more on the YouTube channel, which is why I recommend the YouTube channel, but it’s a huge library of really excellent electronic music. YES. Definitely check it out if you love dance-y content. I love working with it.
Lauren Goode: Good. Good.
Michael Calore: I like to wear it while working.
Lauren Goode: That sounds great. I will have to listen to it. I don’t usually listen to dance music while I’m working. I prefer cold things. But there seems to be a lot of genre on this channel.
Michael Calore: It works fine for the term, let me tell you.
Lauren Goode: Oh, is that a hint?
Michael Calore: No.
Lauren Goode: Okay. Okay. Well, let’s wrap it up. I will return to writing.
Michael Calore: Yes yes yes. That’s our show for this week. Thank you everyone for listening. Lauren, thank you for being a guest of the week. It is a pleasure to welcome you.
Lauren Goode: Oh, Mike, thanks for being such a great host. This is really fun. We asked a lot of people to join us this week and everyone was busy so we said, “You know what? We’re going to scam.”
Michael Calore: It’s correct.
Lauren Goode: It was a lot of fun.
Michael Calore: Yes, we will do this more often.
Lauren Goode: We should.
Michael Calore: If you have feedback on the show, you can find all of us on Twitter. Just check the program notes. This show is produced by Boone Ashworth. We’ll be back next week again, covering all the latest news on Twitter with a very special guest. Please join us.

Lauren Goode: I’m sorry, the cat continues to torment me. Please continue.
Michael Calore: Drums and bass, acid house, weird-

Lauren Goode [laughing]: Exotic cat mashup.
