Left of the Dial on WQAQ.com

Today was my last show on WQAQ. Many thanks to the QU kids for letting me have a show the past two years and to all of you for listening and requesting. Today’s show was one of the most fun shows I’ve ever done.

The Left of the Dial website will probably take a brief hiatus while I re-think it’s design and purpose. I’m leaning towards a podcast but I’m open to ideas (brian “at” leftofthedialradio” dot” org if you have ideas)
