On Target

https://ontargetpodcast.ca

This week, On Target takes the scenic route and somehow ends up in all the right places. Mod Marty digs into the ’60s and ’70s for a lively mix of soul, R&B, mod, rock, and the odd record that refuses to stay in its lane. Expect sharp turns, unexpected connections, and plenty of moments where you’ll wonder how one song led to the next. That’s the fun of On Target.
