This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio # 856: 25 YEARS OF DANA & CARL

This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio with Dana & Carl traces its roots to the first Dana & Carl radio show We're Your Friends For Now, which debuted on January 15th, 1992. Precisely 25 years later, we celebrate two and a half decades of doing the same thing every week. And it's still fun! You call it stubborn. We call it consistent. And we call it The Best Three Hours Of Radio On The Whole Friggin' Planet. Why? 25 years of experience, my friends; 25 years of experience.

This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio with Dana & Carl streams live Sunday nights from 9 to Midnight Eastern, exclusively at www.westcottradio.org
