THIS IS ROCK 'N' ROLL RADIO # 1216


Following three straight weeks of special programming--our Christmas show, our 25th anniversary show, and our Countdown show--this is our first regular show in about a month.

We still seem to be something other than what most folks would describe as "regular," but--like Popeye before us--we am what we am.

So here's another regular shot of our proud irregularities, The Best Three Hours Of Radio On The Whole Friggin' Planet. We got new. We got old. 

We got something that sounds pretty good on the radio. And we invite you to be a regular listener. 

Trust us: The irregularities are half the fun.

This is what rock 'n' roll radio sounded like on another 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, streaming at SPARK stream, and on the Radio Garden app as WESTCOTT RADIO. Recent shows are archived at Westcott Radio
