Category 4 is a monthly broadcast concept from Michael Brunner [ @four4 ] for Great Circles Radio.

Each episode is broken into four segments, which are connected in some fashion, but routinely unique in many others. This allows for the drawing of comparisons between otherwise disparate concepts, while simultaneously creating enough creative restrictions to focus the musical selections.

Episode 17 is a tale of robot life from cherished friend and dancefloor destroyer, Unjust (@unjust).

We invite our listeners to guess these categories during the show.
As an added incentive for participation, the first person to guess the categories during the broadcast will be eligible to win a prize. Each month brings new categories and prizes.

The theme for episode 17 was -- Vocoder Through Decades and Genres (or - A Robot’s Life Story in 4 Stages)
