The Kitchen Sink Free Form Radio Program

About Me

Presented by The Shiny Beast and Miss a.k.a, The Kitchen Sink's first assault on Brno's airwaves was in May 2005 on the just-launched station Radio Student 107. The show attempted to reflect the wide range of musical styles existing beyond the usual confines of commercial radio. It ran until January 2007, when new station owners decided such sonic diversity wasn't to be on their daily menu - as a result the show currently resides between frequencies, looking for another way to get all those wondrously diverse sounds out!
