Week 16: Toasting Todd Blackwell

Welcome back, everyone. On this, our sixteenth week, we say goodbye to an old friend. Todd Blackwell has been a valuable member of The Away Team since its inception. He's our Data: often navigating, always questioning in an effort to learn what it means to be human. Todd has brought us art in the form of his spoken word segments and early 20th century blues blended with a fair share of Isaac Brock and post modern psychedelia. One of the reasons we've come to expect such care to be taken with DJ selections on The Away Team is the example that's been set for us by Blackwell. Each of his sets are single threads with themes of their own that over these weeks have been woven into a tapestry of self-reflection. Thank you Todd, for your candor, your impeccable taste, and your love, which we share, for all the words.

Our new guest DJ this week was Dom DeCool, certainly lives up to his name. He was groovin' into the dark of night, and trying his best to stump the Team. Not this week, Dom, but we hope you become one of our regulars. You're perfect for us, and you raise our cool quotient by 58%.

Teva Toamy returned with another Week in History, and a set that blew our socks off. She also came up with our Wildcard this week, songs from commercials by relatively unknown bands. Teva, by her mere presence, keeps us on track like no one else. Thank you, Doctor.

Unfortunately, Stiles was unable to record this week's show. He fell asleep and his internet went out. Classic Stiles.

Tune in next week for a brand new guest! And listen for Stiles' very first segment. Thanks for supporting The Away Team with Walter Friendly. Catch us in the airwaves.
