The Lost Sons podcast is the brainchild of local music scene gurus Shane and Alex. Their show is all about supporting the scene through interviews and advice, like how to pick the right song structure for your tunes.

Another great entry to the podcast universe that is all about supporting the local scene is the aptly named Team Bayfleld – Support The Scene.
