Album of the Week for October 17, 2018 is "The Wall" by Pink Floyd

Wed, 10/17/2018 - 2:54pm | Matt Blake

This week, we are exploring "The Wall" ... with Paul. That's right, my father-in-law is hitting the KDRT studios to talk about this album, his interactions with Roger Waters, and his love of rock n' roll. Others may be joining us as well. There is no way we are getting through all 1 hour and 23 minutes of this album in our hour-long show, so we'll do what we can. It's going to be... something. Join us!
