Thanks to Baron Von Porkchop’s Terrifying Tales of the Macabre for Stopping by the WUDR Studio

The Baron in the Studio

Many thanks and salutations go to Baron Von Porkchop for visiting Your Tuesday Afternoon Alternative to chat about the Terrifying Tales of the Macabre!  It was a great interview and for someone from the 19th century, The Baron has a very modern sense of humor!  We will share information about the horror tour and the terrific Terrifying Tales program with you all soon!

What are you listening to…?

CDs
This is a picture of some CDs.

It is time for that eternal question that has plagued humanity since we started to clap two rocks together… What are you listening to that has not been played to death?  What new music has captured your fancy and you simply cannot live without?  What ear candy have you tried and now, can’t stop… OK, you get the point.  Send us your musical recommendations!  Please.  Pretty please with sugar on it!

Welcome to the YTAA Site

Imagine you are standing in front of the music board for the radio station.
Independent music for everyone!

This site is the new website from the former School of Rock with Dr. J and Mrs. Dr. J website.

We decided to change the name of the show, blog, and all sundry connected items to reflect the new focus of the program that we have been doing since November of 2005 on WUDR!  This site will focus on the program, music that we love, and our undying effort to encourage listeners/readers to check out independent music that would normally go unnoticed.

You can send suggestions about great music that should be shared with us at drjwudr at twitter.com or drjwudr at gmail.com.

Keep the Faith! – Dr. J and Mrs. Dr. J
