2 October 2021 (Goodbye 2 PM!)

After three full years in the 2-4 PM PST time slot on alternate Saturdays on Freeform Portland, What’sThis Called? is moving to 6-8 PM PST on the same day! We were as surprised by this move as anybody, but as we’re currently still making shows from an undisclosed location during the Covid-19 Pandemic, it doesn’t change our bi-weekly routine. You’ll just be able to sleep later on Saturdays and still hear us live on Freeform at 6 o-clock!

This will be the last show to air in the 2 PM spot, but be back next week as we kick off the new season at Freeform Portland with our first bi-weekly 6 PM PST show broadcasting live at KFFP-LP 90.3 FM, KFFD-LP 98.3 FM & KYQT 101.5 FM in the Portland metropolitan area and #StreamingLive at http://listen.freeformportland.org:8000/stream
