We finish off 1987 with a couple of big name artists in Violent Femmes and The Smiths, along with a track from the unexpected later stage of Wire's excellent catalog.

This episode features a fun mix of styles, from the punk-meets-funk vibe of Fishbone, to the acapella stylings of The Housemartins and finally the lush electro-rock of Depeche Mode...plus a mystery song that you'll just have to hear for yourself.

Host Lisa chats with WUNH-FM alumni Ray Fournier about his time in college radio.

In this episode, we lean away from the more iconic artists on the 120 Minutes playlist and instead land on a couple contenders for "one-hit wonder" status and an influential band who never hit the heights that some of those that borrowed from them did.

Our interview series continues with a conversation between our host, Lisa and Charles Driebe, an alumni of the venerable WTUL-FM 91.5 in New Orleans.

A little something for everyone in this episode of 120 Months, as we talk about early Concrete Blonde, peak New Order and later-stage John Lydon (in the form of Public Image Ltd.).

In this episode of 35000 Watts: The Podcast, host Lisa is chatting with WGSU 89.3FM alumni Joe Lomonaco.

The summer of 1987 draws to a close with a couple of artists who were mainstays on college radio for years, plus a one-hit wonder that is beyond iconic almost forty years after its release.

The original 35000 Watts podcast returns for season 3, and we're coming back with a greater focus on the people who make college radio great. We're kicking off the season by featuring host Lisa Girard's interview with Jonathan Lee, an alumni of WKNS 90.3FM.

For this episode, we're deep in the summer of 1987 and talking about an eclectic group of bands that were all at (or pretty close to) the height of their powers at the time: Black Flag, Nitzer Ebb and R.E.M.
