Varnercast!7


For the next few weeks, I’ll be simulcasting Varnercast! on 77 Santas.  Varnercast! started as a kind of joke, I suppose.  The first episode opened with the theme music to Meet the Press, and it seemed very important.  I was in the moment, and I just called the thing Varnercast!  The exclamation mark is crucial.

The music is typically very eclectic.  These are songs that PC and I love—and, as is often the case, I include some songs I want him to hear.  You’ll get a little bit of country, a little bit of rock n roll, and my voice guiding you through.  Each Varnercast! is around an hour in length.

You can find Varnercast! episodes, and lots more, on www.jayvarner.com.
