Backwoods With John Funke

Meet and greet our latest blogger, Mr. John Funke! He's weird in a good way. Just dig this youtube video Co-Produced by Jess Schumann and David Taber; A short slice of life about one of the greatest radio shows ever. And be sure to check out his Ichiban guest DJ set right over there on the right side of this page, under You Be The DJ. You can and should catch his act every Saturday morning on WMBR in Cambridge, Mass. It's a little show called Backwoods. Hmmm? Eternal gratitude to Benjamin Walker for sending me the link.
