Jake Kelly (DJ OG Willikers) and Wil Forkin (DJ Nosferatu), two high school seniors, recently started Unfortunate, a show at KDRT. Their show features music from a wide array of genres ranging from Hungarian folk to electronic jazz! Although the show's music allows for much fluidity and engaging variation, one constant is the omnipresent wit and humour of the hosts! Happy St. Patrick's Day!
