FFFoxy Podcast #128 with Chris Berry of Soft Abuse / Fruits & Flowers

On this installment of the podcast, Chris Berry of Soft Abuse Records returned to the KMSU studios in Mankato for what has been an annual end of summer tradition for as long as the podcast has been going (which is 8 years come October). Chris brought his usual box of surprises that included a small stash of choice Australian underground cuts and a slice of Floridian country-folk. We also carved out some time to premiere the forthcoming material due out soon on Soft Abuse and Fruits & Flowers, the other label Chris co-runs with Glenn Donaldson. Between all of this, there’s plenty of record nerd details and light-hearted, post sweat-soaked banter. Hope you enjoy! Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions or comments. As always, thanks for looking and listening.
