Why did you decide to have your own radio show?
Jimmy: We wanted to GET THE PEOPLE GOING .Chris: We really wanted to show people some of the hidden gems out there that many people would never hear. It has been awesome having multiple people come into the station every show saying how much they enjoy the music we play.
What kind of music do you normally play?
Chris: Anything, and we mean anything, Indie to House to Country to Oldies to Boy Band Pop to line dancing with the Cha-Cha Slide. Our show is centered around brand new Indie and House music, but some days we start feeling a different vibe, and see where it takes us, sometimes Aaron Carter, sometimes the Macarena.Jimmy: Anything we feel like on that specific day. Mostly House/Indie/Country/Throwbacks.
What do you do on your radio show?
Chris: Give shout outs, and play jamzzz, we like to bump it really really loud in the station and kind of wake people up and get them groovin’ to the tunes we’re playing. Some people love it so much they start dancing while studying, that’s a feel good Friday.Jimmy: We play the music really loud and watch people dance and stop in the studio to tell us we were doing a good job. One time, one of the Dunkin Donuts employees gave us the thumbs up. It’s definitely a plus when we see and hear that.
What are your plans for your future shows?
Jimmy: We certainly want to keep the feel good songs playing and maybe even have guests come in to talk about their weekend plans.Chris: Keep the beats bumping and the indie vibes flowing, we’ve had a blast so far and it has been an awesome experience.
What is your favorite thing to do on your show?
Chris: Play throwback songs that get people popping into the station reminiscing over the song.Jimmy: We love playing the throwbacks that everyone knows and loves. It’s also a blast to talk on the mic and let the city of Providence hear what we have to say.
