DISSONANCE Listeners

***UPDATE 2-15-17***

After more than 10 years of documenting the DC punk and underground music scene, Dissonance is going off the air. The building in which Radio CPR has operated has been sold, and the station is being evicted at the end of February. Radio CPR may yet find a new home someday, and this show might return once again in a different form. But for now I'm calling an indefinite hiatus, Fugazi-style. It's been a wonderful decade sharing music and memories with so many amazing artists who call the DC/MD/VA area their home. If anything changes, I will post the news here. Thanks to everyone for listening, it's been a lot of fun. --Mike

===========================

DISSONANCE is a biweekly music and talk show broadcasting Tuesday nights at 9:00 on community station Radio CPR, 101.7 FM in Washington, DC, hosted by Danger Mike.  Each episode features a different guest from the DC music and creative community who serves as guest DJ, picking the show's playlist and answering questions.  New episodes are available for free download here the following Wednesday:
