Around The Dial Episode 5 Available Now (Even Though It Came Out in Late February)

Not sure what happened but Episode 5 of Around The Dial launched back in late February but for some reason the playlist and player never got posted here. I'd blame my assistant but the closest I get to one of those is my pooch and he's really just a lazy companion more than anything else. 

Episode 6 should be available by the weekend and I'm working on an in-studio (aka home office) guest for an upcoming episode as well as news about a LIVE version of Around The Dial coming to a mobile device near you!
