15 October 2016 (2 Hr. Special!)

There was lots of talk in the news of a historic storm and there was word that the station might be closed if things got bad (especially if power went out of course). We arrived to find that the station had encountered a sewer leak and there were men with headlamps working on it, but they let us stay with the door to the booth closed. Weird, weird, show!

whatsthisrawk

Saturday October 1st from Noon to 1PM Pacific Time, we’re getting the Rawk out on What’s This Called? While there may be some of the experimentation you’ve come to expect during the program, your host Ricardo Wang‘s focus will be on rawking you like a hurricane.
