🎙 Shambhu Sessions – Episode 5

Guest: John Diliberto, Host of Echoes Radio

In this episode of Shambhu Sessions, we celebrate the 36th anniversary of Echoes, the legendary nationally syndicated radio show that has shaped the sound of ambient, electronic, and new acoustic music since 1989.

My guest is John Diliberto, Echoes' executive producer, and host — and one of the most respected voices in music radio. We talk about:

• The origins and evolution of Echoes

• The golden era of New Age music — and how the market has shifted

• Thoughts on the New Age GRAMMY awards

• The impact of AI and algorithm-driven curation on music creation

• Artists John's excited about now: Bluetech, Ian Boddy, Marissa Nadler, Steve Roach, and more

• His thoughts on how to keep music meaningful — and what curators, podcasters, and artists need to hear right now

John also reflects on his award-winning career (Peabody Award, Major Armstrong Award, NFCB Golden Reels), the iconic Echoes Living Room Concerts, and what still keeps him inspired after nearly four decades in radio.
