Debts No Honest Man Can Pay
Debts No Honest Man Can Pay is an eclectic music show hosted by Greenberg, which began as a radio program in 2003 and became a podcast in 2020 with help from NRM Streamcast. Each episode plays a wide-ranging mix of music, with plenty of conversation about the songs and artists. Greenberg is equally interested in music's past, present and future, and occasionally invites guests to join him to talk about music and other topics. The show keeps the loose, talk-and-spin feel of its radio origins while paying its BMI/ASCAP licensing fees.
