Send us a text Hey Xer's, it's Episode 44! It's titled Mattshimi Battles The Pink Robots in an homage to a classic alternative album you may or' may not have heard of. This episode... Where to start? It started out as one thing, turned into kinda what we though it would be, off-roaded into something else and almost ended on a discussion of would you like to eat the same Oreo at 4:55 everyday on your drive home from work?' But then it ACTUALLY ended with Jayce telling Program Directors that he do...

Send us a text Hey Xer's it's the latest and dare I say, most robotic, episode of XRadioX we've ever produced! Maybe the episode with the fake, robotic baby is a bit more robotic than this one. Maybe not? Anyway... It's episode 43 and Matt and I tackle the question of Robots and Radio. Ever since you could automate a cart deck to go to the next cart deck with a tone, radio station owners have been trying to strike that balance of automation, scheduling efficiencies and the eternal question of......

Personally I'm happy I got to make Matt think about Cake's the distance as if it was about sex. I also enjoyed being reminded that a certain sect of music fans have no idea how magnets work. I know how they work but the Mystery is better than the truth. ;) So tune in and enjoy Matt and Jayce getting back at it. It feels so good to be back!...
