The Afternoon Show

 

“Music is sacred. There’s nothing more exciting to me than sharing music, and I’m beyond excited to get to do that all week with our listeners. Some may know me chiefly from doing Street Sounds — but doing a variety mix, with all the palettes and possibilities for fun and exploration, has always been my favorite kind of challenge.” - Larry Mizell
