Playlists
Live playlist (note: due to a technical glitch, today’s “live” playlist at wmnf.org will be listed under the March 8 link)
See the sidebar for an update. The short version: I did not get teh Saturday slot I applied for, but now there is an opening for a Monday afternoon show: SOnic Detour from 4 to 6 PM. Call or Email WMNF Program Director Randy Wynne and ask him to pick Norwood for this slot! (Phone number is 813-238-8001, ex 16) I know: I’ll have to come up with another catchy name, since MorningWood seems somehow inappropriate in the afternoon, but I’m willing to make the sacrifice.
