The Clock Punches Back

Songs about work for Labor Day weekend. Songs for the long, dark night shift of the soul. Songs for when the whistle blows. Songs for when the job blows. Songs to whistle while you work, plus some new songs that have nothing to do with work. All this & much, much less!

Show Notes

Because we're gluttons for punishment, we're taking a break from work this Labor Day weekend with songs about the last thing you want to think about this weekend - work.

Haunting melodies for the long, dark night shift of the soul.
Anthems to shout when the whistle blows. 
Laments for when the job blows.
Tunes to whistle while you work.
plus some new songs that have nothing to do with work.

All this & much, much less!


Debts No Honest Man Can Pay is over 2 rock-solid hours of musical eclectica & other noodle stories. The show started in 2003 at WHFR-FM (Dearborn, MI), moved to WGWG-FM (Boiling Springs, NC) in 2006 & Plaza Midwood Community Radio (Charlotte, NC) in 2012, with a brief pit-stop at WLFM-FM (Appleton, WI) in 2004.

What is Debts No Honest Man Can Pay?

Hey everybody! My name’s Greenberg and this is my podcast. It started as a radio show in 2003. In 2020, it phoenixed into a podcast, thanks to our friends at NRM Streamcast.

If truth be told, the podcast is pretty much a glorified radio show. We play a lot of eclectic music (rest assured, we pay our yearly BMI/ASCAP fees), talk way too much about it, and sometimes invite other folks to talk with us about music & other things.

We’re equally excited about music’s past, present and future, and we hope you are too.
