This Is Rock ‘n’ Roll Radio # 940

Long ago, this show established a simple two-step process for creating great rock ‘n’ roll radio. STEP ONE: Know which rock ‘n’ roll records are great. STEP TWO: Play those. Foolproof! And we’re just the fools who can prove it, week in and week out, on This Is Rock ‘n’ Roll Radio with Dana & Carl. As I type this, we’re just midway through our first set. Where will the show bring us? We’ll find out soon enough. You might call it magic. You might call it alchemy. We just call it our job: The Best Three Hours Of Radio On The Whole Friggin’ Planet. Simple. This is what rock ‘n’ roll radio sounded like on a Sunday night in Syracuse This week.

This Is Rock ‘n’ Roll Radio with Dana & Carl, Sunday nights from 9 to Midnight Eastern, on the air in Syracuse on The Spark WSPJ-LP 103.3 and 93.7 FM, and on the web at http://sparksyracuse.org/
