Hoo boy. After advising you to tune in via the internet as opposed to the airwaves, it appears that our listen live stream isn't working right at the moment. If you're looking to listen online, you can click "listen now" over at the left of this page and catch the archived version of the show. Sorry for the inconvenience!

RobB, this is the prefect anti-dote to being glued to the screen following what's happening with the Fruckers/FluTruxKlan and the police.

Rob Bitschofsky (host)
Right? I got good vibes to wipe away all the bad feelings that rolled into town with the occupation. Glad it's (seemingly almost) over!

Pale Relic, I ordinarily live almost entirely in the moment myself, but today I'm shifting in and out of phase by listening to the archived version of the show. I am not in real time!

...in fact, I think I'm slightly in the future right now...

hb, music is math, and the formula is: time divided by noise.
