Special Notice: Due to a large percentage of last week’s show not airing on KFBK, the April 26th show will be a repeat of last week’s show, with the exception of the Travel News segment (which is new for this week). If you listened live last week you might have noticed the show cut off on the air. If you caught last week’s podcast instead, which included the entire show uninterrupted, you may recognize some of this week’s show as a repeat.
