Erin, our beloved host, takes a moment to interview a Providence, Rhode Island staple DJ Franchise. Many Providence natives grew up listening to him on 101.1 FM, one of the popular radio stations in town. Erin starts the interview off clearing the air as there always seems to be an indescribable "tension" between the two of them. As many interviews as Erin has done and as many stories as she's heard from all over the world, they pale in comparison to these entertaining DJ stories. Tune in as they roller blade down memory lane.   To connect/ book DJ Franchise; App- WBRU360 to listen to radio show
