Rob and Katie's Labor of Love



Hear this show now:  Pop-up player! | Add or read comments


The twentieth edition of an annual late summer tradition: Rob Weisberg and longtime sidekick Katie Gentile play radio ping-pong, trading tracks back and forth. Rob bounces popular and unpopular music from around the world off Katie's vintage and contemporary indie rock. It's genre-clashing at its FMU-iest.

Rob, as you may know, is an unpaid radio DJ and record geek. Katie, on the other hand, is an academic, a Gradiva Award winning author, open-water swimmer and violinist in the band The Special Pillow.
