Strada-Sphere Radio is a multi faceted expression of love for the music of the Chapman Stick® family of tapping instruments created by Emmett Chapman.

The original concept for SSR was to showcase the music of Stickists from Soundclick.com's roster of musicians who play the Stick®. The site featured a stream of Stick music hosted by Soundclick and eventually was expanded to include interviews with Stickists and reviews of their music.

In 2005 a podcast was added to augment the sites content.Created,produced and hosted by Juan R. Leõn,The Strada-Sphere Radio Podcast is a 30 to 60 min show featuring the music of both known and not so well known Stickists from around the world.Each episode brings the listener a vast array of musical styles and a wide variety of artistic expression to satisfy even the most discerning of listeners.

In 2007 Shane Carey,host of the popular and daring Nascent Music Podcast (a podcast documenting Shane's own improvised compositions on the Stick), joined the show as co host and producer bringing to the table even more variety and surprises.
