WTF,K? IS NOW A WEEKLY SERIES WITH NEW EPISODES (MOSTLY) POSTED FRIDAYS.

What's the Frequency, Kenneth?" is a "newsical" series from an award winning writer/producer.. who spent 24 years writing for Dan Rather on the CBS Evening News and has now returned to his roots in public radio.

Newest Episode: "IF YOU THOUGHT THE PRIMARIES WERE NASTY...WELCOME TO THE GENERAL CAMPAIGN!"

Each episode explores a single subject with narration... music.... and soundbites. Each episode is also designed to be a stand alone program...running about 55 minutes.

Topics, music and moods vary. Some episodes are time sensitive.

These "newsicals" are subject to the same rules that apply to any other streamed show with music.

After my long stint writing for the CBS Evening News with Dan Rather, I returned to produce a type of radio program that I've not heard elsewhere. Individual episodes and weekly series have run on..among other places.. WBAI NY, WEER Long Island, WAZU in Peoria, WRFA LP in Jamestown, NY... WGXC in the Hudson Valley..KRFP LP in Moscow, Idaho and WYAP LP in West Virginia. I'm still adding new episodes WEEKLY on PRX ;
Pacifica Stations and affiliates may also obtain episodes from Audioport.

EACH EPISODE IS HAND-MIXED FOR MAXIMUM FLAVOR
