We're gonna be on the radio!

Live Wire!

Well, yeah, I guess we are on the radio all the time, now that you mention it. But this is different. On Saturday, May 26, we'll be guests on Live Wire!, the awesome and hilarious variety program on OPB. Tune in to hear witty repartee, thought-provoking discourse, lovely musical interludes and, uh … us. The show starts at 8 p.m. Pacific time on OPB Radio 91.5 FM. If you're out of the listening area (or actually have a life and get to go out Saturday night) there'll probably be an mp3 archive available at some point.
