It's our first in a recurring series of ESBeats episodes dedicated to celebrating each of our regular listeners. We kick things off with someone I've known since I was 10 years old (and someone who has known me their entire life)... it made for an unfair advantage in finding a plethora of songs to spotlight in this week's MYSTERY LISTENER APPRECIATION episode! Toodles...

Konnichiwa! In these times of isolation and COVID, it makes it particularly difficult to imagine what life is like with the ability to travel. To address that wanderlust, we've been trying to take you to different locations - different escapes - to find a soul searching break from the routine and repetitiveness of home life. Ladies and gentlemen, ESBeats would like to welcome you to JAPAN!

It doesn't matter if you're a loser, or a nerd, or a freak! All that matters is that you become badass! Enjoy!

We couldn't host our annual Thanksgiving Leftovers Party this year so we shared the soundtrack to the would-be epic party for your listening enjoyment here. It's a marathon not a sprint... plan accordingly.

We thought it was time to take a trip. We've all be staring at the same four walls for months now - let's go on vacation together. First stop...? Paris.

ESBeats Quarantunes volume 14 comes on November 14th. Sit back, relax, and enjoy some exclusive new tracks with some classics from the vault. Cheers!

Today seemed only fitting to bring you three hours of One Hit Wonders. Enjoy!

3 hours of spooky tunes to celebrate Halloween! Tricks and treats for all!

Here is your weekly music therapy. 28 songs to get you through the week. Be well.

We needed a real escape this week so we decided to head down to South Beach. Grab your favorite linen suit, a drink preferably with an umbrella in it and channel your inner Crockett & Tubbs... We're heading to MIAMI

On the 19th anniversary of September 11, 2001, the ESBeats crew needed some music therapy to lift our spirits and find some inspiration as the year 2020 continues to way heavily on most of our listeners. We hope you find inspiration and hope from this cathartic exercise, as much as we did pulling the show together. You got this. You are not alone. Don't Give Up.

Here is part 2 of our Labor Day Weekend 2020 special episode. This weekend's word is WORK. Enjoy the second half of the show!!
