Jason Randall Smith Bio
Jason Randall Smith’s longtime personal passions involve music appreciation, sonic curation, and media preservation.

As a writer, Jason penned music reviews and long-form articles for Impose Magazine as well as podcast reviews for The A/V Club's Podmass column. In addition, his poem "A Lesson In Deterioration" was included in the book Soul Babies: Black Popular Culture And The Post-Soul Aesthetic by Mark Anthony Neal. Jason is the host and producer of Radio BSOTS (Both Sides Of The Surface), a podcast championing independent and Creative Commons music in a variety of genres since August of 2005.
