Well, this sure has been one hell of a year. If you’re reading this then you are actually one of the lucky ones who survived, and with a semblance of curiosity intact, willing to listen to the radio for a bit of entertainment.

When the word of the year is “pandemic” (who is it that decides these things?), you know it’s been tough times, but we intend to provide a bit of distraction by offering up a playlist of songs that we dedicate to the ‘spirit’ of 2020. I hope your sense of humor is intact.

More importantly, we wish for you a genuinely HAPPY New Year. Hell, after 2020, I’d be happy with an ordinary one. Ring out the old, ring in the new!
