2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. - The Psychoacoustics Hour

Dr Psycho-acoustics takes you on a journey to the center of your mind prescribing psych, garage, progressive, kraut, space, and acid rock, as well as jazz fusion, blues, electronic and sometimes heavy metal music to effect your psychological and physiological responses.

3:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. - The Way Out

Likely the least prepared-for radio show in history, The Way Out caters to the Zappa-friendly folks (who recall Joe’s City of Tiny Lights show back in the ‘90s) while bringing in singers, songwriters and other creatives to perform or guest DJ on features such as “The Album of My Life.”

4:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. - World Cafe

6:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. - Fury Industries
