A Box of Toys is a radio program dedicated to the tireless pursuit of obscure musical artifacts. The explosive growth of DIY digitized archiving and recording means that now, more than any previous time, we can find lost and buried treasures, filter them through discerning ears, and present them to you in a way that renders them coherent and relevant. Join us on this journey through the dusty corners and hidden pathways to bring you the most creative part of our musical human cultural experience.
