Yeah, we know, pledge drives get a bad rap, but if you know the Eight One Sixty, this isn't your ordinary pledge drive.  We are joined by Kansas City music writer Bill Brownlee.  You may be familiar with Bill through his work with INK Magazine, The KC Star, KCUR, and/or his music blogs Plastic Sax & There Stands The Glass... he's also the musical yin to Chris Haghirian's musical yang. This is what it sounds like when opposites attract on this special two-hour-end-of-year-pledge edition of the show!

We are joined by several very special guests on this episode of Eight One Sixty!  First, Kristen May and Brian Little talk about their new project. Then, we're getting ready for the holidays with live music from The Snow Globes and an interview with Barclay Martin.
