WION received an e-mail on June 11th that the program we've added on Saturday mornings and Sunday afternoons called, "Psycho Jello Radio" is ending production.  It's been airing Saturday mornings at 8 AM and Sundays at 3PM.

Izzy is a January 1st puppy,  As I write this she's 20 weeks old plus or minus a few days.  I tend to forget that, because the "puppy-like" features have already started to melt into the "dog" look.  Yet, she still has and WILL HAVE for awhile that puppy curiosity, some occasional "uh-oh's" in the house or studio, and will continue to need training for awhile. She's loving, curious, quick, […]
