About

Think of this program as a gateway, if you want to dip your toes into college radio, but don’t know where to start. Some artists you may recognize, and some artists of which you will want to hear more. A typical show: Chunk, thump, screeech, clang, boom, bang, crunch, pfzzzzt, jingle, jangle, clap, strum, pluck, chirp, whoa, tinkle, whisper, whoosh Hosted by a DJ who probably shouldn’t admit for how long he’s being doing this.
