Last week, on our show, one of our favorite engineers and longtime supporters gave us a TIME SLOT SHOUT-OUT!

We felt this sentiment deserved a second listen... and a third...

If you agree that our time slot needs to be moved, why not give us a call at 212-209-2948 or e-mail us at riseupradio[at]wbai.org.

Let us know who you are and when you'd like to hear us.

If we get enough calls, we might even burn a cd and send it to a few key peops!

Time slot shout out!
