Labor of Love Ping Pong Planetary Rock with Katie Gentile

Hear this show now: | Add or read comments


An annual holiday tradition: Rob Weisberg and Katie Gentile (Rob's longtime sidekick, academic, author, open-water swimmer and violinist in the bands The Special Pillow and The Mad Scene) play "radio ping-pong", alternating tracks. Rob bounces rock-tinged world music off Katie's classic indie rock.

thrown off for a bit hearing the show while doing the dishes. Now I see. And remember last year.

We hope you didn't break any dishes mark...

This almost seems kind of like when Clay and Fabio do a similar thing at times on Thursdays. Is it going to be as wacky?
  Sat. 9/1/12 6:31pm Ike:

"Type Q-Minus" -- ha ha, I'll have to use that to describe myself (in real life anyway, not on the comments).
  Sat. 9/1/12 6:31pm Ken From Hyde Park:

RIP Hal David, age 91.

Glad to amuse you Ike and thanks for the news Ken - not great news but 91 years, not a bad run...

Thanks Ike!

I think I am finally coming down off of a strange blue moon trip and this show is just right for that right now. I am affected by those astral things. Like a where the heck am I wolf.

  Sat. 9/1/12 8:51pm Bas, NL:

  Sat. 9/1/12 8:59pm Bas, NL:

Thanks Katie and Rob!
  Sat. 9/1/12 8:59pm mark vt:

Wacky
  Sat. 9/1/12 9:01pm Ike:

Glad you didn't dump just because it slightly messes up the sound (makes it all stretchy and weird, a bit like bad MP3 artifacts) until the buffer is re-built.
