Once upon a time a radio format was created to counter the screaming, puking, gutteral sounds of AM radio, heavy formatting and repetitive 2 minute songs. It was Free Form radio and it put personality into each program by giving the power to the DJ. For epsiode 16 of our tribute to said format the power is put into each of your host’s hands. We each pick half the show and mix it together in a tasty bouillabaisse. It could get weird so be ready for some crazy twists and turns. We’re very inspired.
