On-air | Off-air: Recent Episodes
The River
The On-Air | Off-Air podcast is what happens on the radio with your favorite River Hosts, but more of it, for longer, off-air. It's a continuation of the conversations, sometimes going deeper, or more often than not, going in a completely different direction... it's the on-air team, but more of it, off-air.
The DJ's have once again abandoned producer Eric for a summer getaway, leaving him to fill the seats with the River's Promotion Staff.
There's a reason the DJ's usually do that.
Note From Producer Eric: ON-AIR OFF-AIR will be taking a summer hiatus as we head into August. We expect to resume regular uploads in September. Please stay tuned for more updates as the summer winds down, and remember to tune in to RiverNOW on YouTube for the August 4th Premiere of Mediocre Class! Thank you for enjoying our first season!
