One thing that was an annual tradition — pre-pandemic on Transmission — was hosting a 60s Sunshine Pop program every spring. Unfortunately, that kind of lost its nostalgic steam the past few years ... until this week. I'm psyched to say that this Thursday, we're once again traveling back in time to when the carpet was shaggy, the walls were wood paneled, and the lamps were filled with lava. And hey, if you can catch a few episodes of Brady Bunch before listening, even better!
