The highly literate British psych-folk pop rock raver Robyn Hitchcock returns for his third RSD podcast appearance, this time to unveil his cracking new album, The Confuser (Tiny Ghost Records). Naturally, if you know Hitchcock, there are plenty of digressions into topics such as; people named "Roger," temporal literacy, trams and trolley buses, the polka dots of Angine de Poitrine, the culinary prowess of Gillian Welch, and why, as the author of two memoirs (including his newly published Stranded In The Future ) he's often an "unreliable narrator" in his own life story.

Greatest Hits Records & Books in Media, PA, is where our guests, Stu Eli, Jesse Gennett, and Dom Glisson cooked up the idea to record and release an "audio time capsule" of the sounds of Delaware County, Pennsylvania, a/k/a "Delco."
