After roughly 121 shows broadcast out of my house, nearly a year of which were pre-recorded, plus three All-Hanukkah specials and a trio of 25-Hour Holiday Radio Show marathons between late March 2020 and now…last night I was back in a proper radio studio. That studio is nicknamed The Barge, and it is WPRB’s new secondary space which will soon see the return of many of your favorite DJs in person under one roof playing not just music for you but off of each other.
Thank you for joining me on this inaugural voyage into choppy but thrilling waters.
WELCOME TO THE FUTURE! WELCOME TO THE BARGE!
