Kensington's Premium Blend

Kensington's Premium Blend

Kensington's Premium Blend is a well-considered, tasty combination of musical genres: rock, pop, jazz, folk, Americana, Celtic, and anything else that adds flavor and spice. Every episode draws on my broad tastes and all the knowledge I've gained in a lifetime of listening as well as in my three decades as a radio broadcaster who worked in several different formats.

Since 2016, I have produced the program in conjunction with community station WGRN in Columbus, Ohio. https://www.wgrn.org/

There is a KPB Facebook page that includes playlists and information on the music and artists featured on various programs. https://www.facebook.com/kensingtonspremiumblend
