Big News!


Some big news! After well over a decade+ in the same time slot, my radio show is MOVING!

Starting February 15th, I’ll be heard on 103.3 fm WPRB on Wednesdays from 5-8 pm ET for the Spring Schedule.

The first hour of the program will be focusing on new releases, I expect.

Please join me at this new, earlier time slot, and let me know if this works better (or worse) for you to listen live.

It is an experiment!
