Spare the Rock, Spoil the Child: Scott Hoying & Mark Hoying

For over fifteen years Spare the Rock, Spoil the Child has been providing the soundtrack to thousands of childhoods around the country.  The show plays “indie music for indie kids,” including the best of music aimed at kids like Dan Zanes, Moona Luna, Lunch Money, Caspar Babypants, and They Might Be Giants, right along side kid-friendly tracks from the likes of The Ramones, Ella Fitzgerald, Brian Eno, Andrew Bird, Fishbone, and more. One thing it’s not is your typical kids’ programming.

This week, we’ll talk with Scott Hoying and Mark Hoying about their new record, plus we’ll hear new music from Big Freedia, Mega Ran, Austin’s Bananer Man, and Ratboy Jr., plus songs from Jonathan Richman, Little Miss Ann, Matt & Kim, and much more! It’s indie music for indie kids.
