PRESS
"An affectionate portrait. DJs make for affable company, and it's amusing to watch radio from behind the scenes.
-BEN KENIGSBERG, THE NEW YORK TIMES
"A funny, woozy, infectiously cheery look at a national treasure. You don't really want it to end."
-SAM WEISBERG. THE VILLAGE VOICE
"Engaging, almost nostalgic look at the greatest of those "free form radio' relics of the 1960s. WFMU, and the oddballs who run it."
-ROGER MOORE, MOVIE NATION
"Shows a Wiseman-like respect for the day-to-day heroics that keep the lights on."
-JUSTIN STEWART. BROOKLYN MAGAZINE
