Musicians Ryan Gurnett, Dennis Reed Jr and Will Webb talk about
the good, the bad and the funny of the Western New York music
scene. The creator of once-popular local music website wnymusic.com
drops by to talk about the site’s 1996 genesis, and how Internet
message board trolls tore it apart. A former user of the site comes
forward to describe his abuse (Chris Buczkowski’s voice is
disguised to protect his identity), and as always Ryan reviews and
previews local shows.
