JOIN ED & MIKE
We feature one guest each month, and recording appointments are offered during the second week of the month. Requests are reviewed before confirmation.
The show runs an hour, and guests appear in Block B and Block C, about twelve minutes each, so we only record you for about 30 minutes. The booking slot is held for the full hour. Your recording appointment is separate from the radio broadcast date. Recording instructions are provided before your appointment.
