A radio show must have a logo…

So I’ve been blasting away on my brand new radio show.  It’s been fun, and even though each episode is only an hour in length, I’ve been enjoying making the shows, finding the music, producing the content – in other words, it’s like being back in college, but without the classwork. But here’s the thing. …
