Alan Haber's Pure Pop Radio is the archive for the premiere website that covered the melodic pop scene with in-depth reviews of new and reissued recordings, and a wide variety of features. We are now closed for new activity.
The most successful specialty show ever aired on Pure Pop Radio, Two Music Geeks is now rockin’ the house on our PodOMatic podcast page. The very first episode, aired on Earth Day, April 22, is now available for listening and/or downloading. And we’ve provided a handy Spotify playlist with direct links to all but two of the songs played during the show (sadly, they weren’t available).
On Two Music Geeks, our own Alan Haber and Minnesota radio veteran Scott W. McKinney play their favorite pop songs and talk about them, throwing around a whole lot of trivia, facts and figures, and the kind of cool stuff you’d expect from twin sons of different mothers who share a lifetime of music between them–200 years, in fact!
Scott W. McKinney: From live and local radio to the world over. Welcome, Scott, to Pure Pop Radio!Pure Pop Radio’s Alan Haber: A hundred years of music knowledge put to good use!
Go get it, then! By the way, the second edition of Two Music Geeks airs on May 13 at 9 pm ET. Don’t miss it! Enjoy show number one if you haven’t heard it, and enjoy it again if you have. Very cool!

Pure Pop Radio’s Alan Haber: A hundred years of music knowledge put to good use!Scott W. McKinney: From live and local radio to the world over. Welcome, Scott, to Pure Pop Radio!
Two Music Geeks is our latest specialty show here at Pure Pop Radio, and we’re pretty excited about it. Here’s the skinny: Every three weeks, for an hour (give or take), Alan Haber (hey, that’s me!) and former KBEK-FM on-air host and Assistant Station Manager Scott W. McKinney will play ’em, talk about ’em and just generally have a heck of a time with ’em. In other words, we’ll be spinning great pop songs and slathering love all over them!
This new program is a natural outgrowth from the every-so-often Saturday morning interview programs on KBEK, during which Scott and I alternated, playing a favorite pop song and talking about it. These sessions, always a fun time, turned out to be pretty popular. However, due to the recent closing of the live and local radio station serving Mora, Minnesota and surrounding areas, those sessions are no longer possible.
Enter Pure Pop Radio. It seemed natural to continue to conduct the sessions here, on our air, and broadcast them to our audience around the world. Plus, now those sessions have a proper name: Two Music Geeks! Finally, we have a new place to ply our catchy trade: putting our combined 200 years of music knowledge to use during a rock ’em, sock ’em hour (or more). What could be more fun?
