Brand new show!!

Hey dudes, 

I have a brand new radio show! It's called "The Daydream Academy" and it's a similar format to previous shows I've hosted and cohosted like "Your Mom Goes to College" and "Mis En Sound". That means if you tune in you'll hear a deliciously eclectic mixture of indie rock and pop, electronica, folk, and more. I just like to have fun and play you tunes that make us all feel good!

The time slot is from 1:30 to 3:30 every Saturday afternoon, and you can tune in if you are in London, Ontario, to 94.9 CHRW to hear it. If you happen to miss the show, or just don't live in town, you can check it out online. There are two parts, which can be found here and here. 

You can phone in to make requests at 519-661-3600. We have also discovered that text message requests are awesome and sound like robots!! I will be posting playlists weekly here, so you don't have to write down things you like that you hear on the show. Thanks for listening :)
