Every show starts with the ’70s! We’ll rediscover forgotten rockers, revisit unfairly maligned disco beats and replay power-pop favorites. Next: plenty of new releases, occasional live bands and more. Don’t let the nickname confuse you.

Hi all, is it wrong to ask for more Interactiv (tm) shows? Maybe a Gofundme page for EFD to travel and buy records?
