From fellow Moai Jet Sterling in the Red Palms chapter. Twenty years ago, check out that playlist!
On this date 20 years ago (May 17, 2006), the Reverend Chuck Allen and Jet Sterling broadcast the very first Surfabilly Freakout radio show on WPGU FM in Champaign, IL. The show aired for 8 years on WPGU followed by 8 more of WEFT Community Radio (before signing off on May 19, 2022) with many fine freaks joining the fray along the way (https://surfabillyfreakout.com/thefreaks.html).
