This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio # 1126

Programming this weekly radio show from remote has become familiar while remaining weird. I'm happy with the results, but I know we've sacrificed some immediacy, abandoned much of our spontaneity.

But you know what? It's still The Best Three Hours Of Radio On The Whole Friggin' Planet. By whatever means we craft it, I'll put this little mutant program up against anything anywhere, and I'm confident we will shine. This is our hit parade. This is what we do. And this is what rock 'n' roll radio sounded like on a Sunday night in Syracuse this week.

This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio with Dana & Carl airs Sunday nights from 9 to Midnight Eastern, on the air in Syracuse at SPARK! WSPJ 103.3 and 93.7 FM, and on the web at  http://sparksyracuse.org/ You can read all about this show's long and weird history here: Boppin' The Whole Friggin' Planet (The History Of THIS IS ROCK 'N' ROLL RADIO).
