The Ambient Door premieres on Baton Rouge Community Radio Saturdays at midnight

Every Saturday at midnight (right after The Clearing with Captain Christopher, technically Sunday at midnight) tune into 96.9FM WHYR-LP for The Ambient Door, hosted by KB Architect. The Ambient Door will play ambient, electronic, and other forms of abstract music and premieres this May 7th at the stroke of midnight. Check it out.

P.S. The Clearing is moving to one hour earlier (9:00pm-12:00am) Saturday nights on WHYR starting Saturday, May 6th. The Juke Joint is also moving to a two-hour format, 7:00-9:00pm every Saturday night for the best Baton Rouge Blues around.

Le Show brings (increasingly indistinguishable from reality) political satire to WHYR Tuesdays at 6:00pm

Baton Rouge Community Radio welcomes Le Show, the hour-long weekly satire, current events, and music program hosted by Harry Shearer (voice of a bunch of The Simpsons, band member of Spinal Tap, among other things). The show, often recorded in New Orleans, features a scathing and absurd take on the scathing and absurd times we live in. ‘Copyrighted features of the broadcast’ include News of the Warm, Karzai Talk, News of the Olympic Movement and News of the Godly. Mr. Shearer is also known to read from trade magazines, slide into momentary impressions of Tom Brokaw, bash the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and nuclear power industry, play Brazilian Bossa Nova and his own unique musical compositions. You’ve just got to check it out.

You can hear Le Show here in Baton Rouge on 96.9FM every Tuesday from 6:00 to 7:00pm.
