The Great Leap Forward is a pop-and-politics blog written by Rob Galgano.
History[]
TGLF was started in December 2003. The title comes from the Billy Bragg song of the same name, particularly because of the line "mixing pop and politics/he asks me what the use is."
TGLF is the home of a weekly-or so podcast called All Over The Place. AOTP:The Podcast is a rebroadcast of the weekly show (Friday nights, 10 pm Eastern) on HomeGrownRadioNJ.com. It covers a lot of musical ground. AOTP:HGRNJ started in March of 2006.
A different version of AOTP without announcements can be found as a streaming broadcast from Live365. This broadcast is a shuffle play of 18 hours' worth of music.
AOTP is named after the Bangles' first album.
