John Maynard and John Kessler bring you lost recordings, found recordings, and recordings you intentionally tried to lose, every week. This week's RBR dives into: life.

The Record Bin Roulette wheel lands on the most mysterious of categories this week: life! John Maynard and John Kessler take you through life's deep questions related through popular (and unpopular) songs. On the way a trip down memory lane to some surprising lost vinyl.

One of the musical questions posed: are you a child, or a fluke, of the universe? We're you riding high in April, then shot down in May? You get the picture of what's in store in this aural journey through time. Isn't life strange?

John Maynard

John Maynard started working in radio in the seventies as a DJ at Seattle’s KJR AM which at the time was the dominant AM station in the Seattle market. After a brief stint as a restaurateur and night club owner, Maynard returned to radio with Robin Erickson, creating the hugely popular “Robin and Maynard Show.” In the more than 20 years under that marquee, Maynard flew with the Blue Angels, piloted the Goodyear Blimp, sang with Donny Osmond and hung out in a Universal Studios bar with Kojak (Telly Savalas).
