This week on Dashboard Diaries, host RayK is in Copenhagen quaffing Danish beer and gorging on shrimp sandwiches instead of performing his disc-jockey duties. Fortunately for his loyal listeners, Ray brought in a ringer to remind us all how a dedicated radio professional does it, so please join Pieter Pastoor of Listening Lyrics fame as he gives a 2-hour clinic on rock ‘n' roll excellence Thursday, 3-5 p.m., on KDRT 95.7fm + KDRT.org.

Tune in on Monday, April 20, from 1 to 3 p.m. for some more Sonic Rehab with DJ Jojo Johanssen!

He'll also be throwing down some tunes from a newly discovered sub-genre... Lover's Rock!! Still need a reason to tune in? Really? OK! Also look for a track he first heard in a grocery store!

It's DJ Jojo Johanssen's birthday this upcoming week, and what better way to celebrate on Sonic Rehab than to play only his favorite songs! Just like birthday presents, it's way more fun when you don't know what's coming.

The show promises to be fun and celebratory, so be sure to join live Monday, 1-3 p.m. Pacific, on 95.7fm or KDRT.org. Can't listen live? Listen back on KDRT.org!
