5 Years…that’s pretty much as long as I’ve been at any of the individual stations I’ve worked at in my radio career. Part of the whole appeal of moving from KCRW to KPFK was to be able to have 100% control of the show and be able to bring in guests for interviews, DJ sets and performances. Over the past 5 years there have been some incredible sessions, last Sunday’s show highlights all of the musicians who performed on our show over these first 5 years. I also attempted to incorporate a little bit of some of the stellar guest DJ sets that we’ve had too, though with all of this music, there wasn’t much of a chance to incorporate many of the interviews themselves. It’s been a great ride, and one that I hope will continue for many more years to come. Each and every interview, Guest DJ set and performance is archived here on this website under the “Be Our Guest” category. You can get a taste for each one from this show, but there’s so much more music waiting for you if you missed them the first time around.
