It's not often you see someone who's 21 that's more into The Supremes and Marvin Gaye than Taylor Swift and Drake. But that's what's attracting a growing audience for a young adult named Lindsey Renee, who was raised by her dad to love the vintage old Berry Gordy sound. 

Now she's taken that innate knowledge to an otherwise obscure Detroit radio station, WPON-AM, and has found herself gathering listeners online from all over the world. The music is part of the reason, but the other is that, having been practically raised on the tunes, she really knows her stuff. 

"[She] doesn’t just play a record like “Where Did Our Love Go” by The Supremes; she provides listeners with backstories and little-known or forgotten nuggets about the song – like that the 1964 hit was written by Holland Dozier Holland and The Four Tops provided background vocals. She often gives socio-political context to the records, too.

 “To have someone so young with such in-depth knowledge of the music is incredible,” Delisca said. “The ‘Rhythm and Soul Patrol Show’ is the best hidden secret in the world.”

The station brands itself as "Talk 'n Rare Oldies" and its home page contains comments from listeners that include:

"This quality and rarity of music cannot be found anywhere else on the net."  Kansas City

"You are the best oldies station I have ever listened to." California
 
What seems to be especially unusual is that her show is consistently attracting younger listeners who have never heard the songs before but want to find out more. You can hear what all the fuss is about by listening here.
