Echo Location can be scheduled as a weekly series or individual episodes can be used as desired on their own, within an arts or news magazine program.

Echo Location is a 3 1/2 minute weekly feature an artist, event, album or trend in new music. Radio producer and music critic John Diliberto has had a long and deep relationship with new music and each week he shares the excitement of new discoveries with Echo Location.

Diliberto's interests are wide-ranging, from the French retro-lounge duo Air, to Balmorhea's Americana chamber music, to Gerry O'Beirne's Celtic fingerstyle guitar and more.

He's a segue master. Each edition of Echo Location features a beautifully edited music blend, that's combined with John's thoughtful insights and artists's comments to make a sound-rich journey for listeners.
