Synopsis
Descend on the incoherency, bad listening skills and self-doubt that is host David Cooper. As I write this description I truly can't tell you what the show is about. This is going well, I think. Broadcast live on the street at DijitalFix at 820 Valencia St in San Francisco, there's comedians, callers, laughter, anger, and frustration. There's some very real moments. Oh, and flashing neon lights. It's a nightmare. Airing live most Thursdays at 8:00pm PT / 11:00pm ET, we might take your calls or texts at +1 (415) 857-1155. No promises. Listen live at http://820hz.fm/ or on TuneIn Radio under station 820Hz. Kill me.
