The Epstein files plus music on Listening Lyrics – Feb. 20, 2026

Fri, 02/20/2026 - 3:20pm | Pieter Pastoor

Devil's groove on KDRT radio.jpeg

This week's Listening Lyrics is a musical journey through scandal and excess — inspired by the cultural undercurrents reflected in the Epstein files. The show is not about the documents themselves but about the atmosphere they reveal — wealth, temptation, secrecy, exploitation — and how artists have long warned us about these very forces.

Replay of The Folk Brothers from Feb. 2, 2022: Remembering Norma Waterson (1939-2012)

Mon, 02/16/2026 - 11:00am | Jim Buchanan

OIP.jfDVQS_A7JfG8hI-h3XFRwHaHa.jpeg

The Watersons -- Norma, her sister Lal, brother Mike, cousin John Harrison, and (later) Norma's husband Martin Carthy -- defined the English trad-folk revival of the 1960s. In the '90s, Norma Martin and their daughter Eliza Carthy, morphed into Waterson:Carthy. Even in ill health, Norma was recording until a few years ago. Her contributions to -- and influence on -- English folk music cannot be overstated.
