In 2006, 2007 and 2008, Caitlin Oleson, Emily Wolfe and Barb Luhring interviewed participants of Steel Bridge Songfest 2 for Door Pod Show and we’ve got links to a feast of audio podcasts below. Some are mere snippets. Some are longer. Some have quiet backgrounds. Some have loud music playing in the background. Each podcast features a special moment in the history of a music festival built by siblings pat mAcdonald to help his sister Christie Weber save a beloved city icon.
