Since it's birth on Jimmy Buffett's Radio Margaritaville on October 13, 2003, Time After Island Time (or "TAIT" as it is affectionately called by listeners) traveled the song lines that only dreamers see. In November of 2008 TAIT RADIO was bestowed the honor of winning Best Radio Show of The Year at The First Annual Trop Rock Music Awards. Every week a new guest was interviewed and new music was explored. Guests included such artist's as Fats Domino, Woody Allen, The Paul McCartney Band, Jeff Bridges, Derek Trucks, Larry Carlton, J.D Souther, Anton Fig, Michael McDonald, Irving Burgie, Ralph McDonald, The Mighty Sparrow, Little Feat, Don Brewer, Bruce Kulick, Jimmy Buffett's Coral Reefer Band, The Zac Brown Band and many, many more inspiring entertainers and trop rock artists....
In April of 2010 after 6 and a half years on the air, TAIT decided to call it a day. In it's wake "The Paul Leslie Hour" was born. TPLH takes over where TAIT left off with our never ending search to interview and document the finest artist's of our time.
