Pony Island is a bi-weekly radio show on Radio CPR, 97.5 every 1st, 3rd and 5th Wednesday from 6 to 7 p.m.
The ladies of Pony Island welcome their second male guest to the show, the most excellent MC Werewolf. When pressed on the origin of his DJ name, the truth came out: MC stands for “Mid-Change.” The DJ was sporting such a healthy beard in his teen years that he gave his peers Teen Wolf vibes.
Pony Island: 5 Oct with MC Werewolf by Pony Island
MC Werewolf brings songs to get the party started and some older punk jams. Young Coconut brings vibrantly dreamy tracks including the lovely first official release from Awesome Tapes from Africa. DJ Bottlerocket has lots of news you can use about the library and a hot jam that had all the DJs dancing in the studio.
DJ Peanut is back from her short hiatus when she returns with SO MANY JAMS on the next episode.
