Hey Fellas! WFMU hive mind question:
Earlier you were talking about Matt's show on the Ichhybunny stream. Is there a published grid for the Ichhybunny stream? Is there a schedule for that stream anywhere on the WFMU website like there is for the flagship WFMU channel/stream?
Thanks in advance for any info!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:43pm

Hey Todd! It's a little odd to find the schedule but when you to the homepage. If you move your mouse of the listen tab a dropdown menu comes up
