Radio8Ball hosted by Andras Jones
Radio8Ball is a musical divination podcast hosted by ANDRAS JONES. We answer questions (and question answers) by picking songs at random, and interpreting them like musical tarot cards. The questions come from our celebrity guests and the answers are performed by our featured songwriter. Featured guests have included: Viggo Mortensen, Fred Armisen, Jon Auer, Tig Notaro, Mose Allison, Eleni Mandell, Inara George, Allen Toussaint, Susanna Hoffs, John Trudell, Michael Ian Black, John Doe, Exene Cervenka, Dave Alvin, Jimmy Webb and hundreds of others. Radio8Ball has been around since 1998. We started on KAOS 89.3FM in Olympia, Washington and presented a live theatrical version of the show in cities across America between 2005 and 2016. We've been a podcast since 2016. You can download our Radio8Ball app from the iTunes App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/radio8ball/id1326738822 It's filled with every song recorded in the history of the show and is your portal to the realm of The Pop Oracle.
