All Cover Songs - Episode #362
In planning our final radio shows, one of the fan-favorite themes that's just pure fun is when we do all cover songs, so I was happy we could do this one more time in this era of UTR. We are excited to share some UTR artists putting their own reimagined creativity on some prior classics, sometimes allowing the song to take on a new meaning when experienced through the lense of a different artist. The …Read More »

Special interview guest Ellie Holcomb - Episode #354
When the decision was made to end production of the UTR Radio Show (our final show in this format releases on 11-11-16 but we are continuing with our mission including podcasts), we had not yet mapped out our episodes for September, October, & November. We really wanted to end strong, and have some of the most intriguing interview guests on during our final months of the show. I knew right away that I wanted to have Ellie Holcomb …Read More »

The Gray Havens Pick All The Music - Episode #304
This is the final week of our 2016 summer hiatus. The last few weeks we have dipped back 4-5 years into the archives, and on this show we only go back 1.5 years. Episode 304 originally aired in February 2015 and featured The Gray Havens taking over the UTR controls, including picking out all the music. Little known fact... UTR was the place for The Gray Havens' very first radio interview! They've been a sweet …Read More »

Stories Behind The Songs, Pt. 1 - Episode #347
I have been personally excited for this episode for quite some time. It takes a lot of extra time and effort to put together shows like these, where we have to dig through dozens of artist interviews in our archives. I believe that the end result is definitely worth it. I had a lightbulb moment in the pre-production stage, which is, no other podcast really has the wealth of high quality artist interviews to be …Read More »

Valentines Special - Episode #303
We originally aired this episode exactly one year ago, and it features some of the best love songs penned by Christian songwriters. I find it unfortunate that some Christians turn their nose up at love songs because they think Christians should be writing songs about God all the time. I believe that perspective is very short-sighted concerning what is "about God." Do Christians experience falling in love, going through a break-up, frustrations in parenthood, great …Read More »

Interview guest Jenny & Tyler - Episode #338
We first played Jenny & Tyler on UTR about 5 years ago, in January of 2011. Since then, they've become one of our most interviewed and most played artists on UTR! You may have heard that J&T actually recorded and completed their latest record Of This I'm Sure a year or two before it was actually released (as they negotiated their very first recording contract with Residence Music). Well, in that same vein, we actually recorded this …Read More »

Songs from Psalms - Episode #312
Many times on UTR we have featured episodes of hymn remakes. But this week, we go to the original hymnbook, the book of Psalms. We can learn a lot from the Psalms - for example, it is good and edifying to sing praises to the Lord, but singing songs of lament, anguish, confusion, repentence, doubt, and sorrow are a vital expression of the human experience (take note CCM radio!). We honor this endless well of …Read More »

Interview Guest Justin McRoberts - Episode #308
There's an "Escape To The Lake" theme woven into the fabric of this episode. This interview with Justin was actually recorded in a quiet corner at last year's ETTL. Since he's coming back again this year, we are using the opportunity to share some of the music of other artists who will be at ETTL 2015. Plus Justin is a great guy to talk to - funny, insightful, and willing to shoot straight. And it's …Read More »

The Gray Havens Take Over - Episode #304
I'll let you in on a little secret. I actually recorded this interview the first time I met Dave & Licia Radford in person, in March 2013. They came to the UTR studios shortly after the release of their debut EP "Where Eyes Don't Go." Little did I know this was one of their first professional interviews AND their lunchtime concert that day was one of their first public performances as a duo. But you …Read More »

Valentines Special - Episode #303
In the 1980's, some of the more fundamental evangelicals listened to Christian music of that day and counted the JPMs... the "Jesus Per Minutes." They would deem just how "Christian" a song was by the number of mentions God, Savior, Jesus, Lord got in a song. It was probably done with good intentions, like wanting the music one hears to be more devotional or overtly evangelistic. However, there were some severe consequences. Of course artists …Read More »

Social Justice Songs - Episode #293
This episode has been in development longer than (possibly) any other episode we've done. We decided we wanted to do a show on the theme of social justice around 4 years ago, and started picking out songs and collecting interview clips on that topic. Usually once each year, I have had this episode on our production calendar, and for various reasons - mostly related to our lack of available time to research and seek out …Read More »

All Listener Requests - Episode #287
June was filled with "specialty shows" like Kelly's farewell and the Critics' picks. July was all repeat episodes. So we've collected a fair number of listener requests over the last 2-3 months, and it's always fun to dedicate a whole hour to the songs and artists suggested by our UTR family. As it seems to happen regularly with these types of episodes, we are introduced to a fair number of artists that we weren't aware …Read More »
