Goodbye to the fastest 30 minutes in radio!

And hello to the fastest 45 minutes in radio! That’s right, the Mascot Wedding show with David and Mac is expanding by 50%. We will now be 45 minutes long.

Slappy Pinchbottom, programmer of “The Odd Preoccupation” which follows our show on the New Power Thursday line-up, has conceded 15 minutes of his show so he can spend more time on other projects. Will the rest of KOOP follow suit, tumbling like a trail of luxurious dominoes to the steel curtain influence of Mascot Wedding? Probably.

Thanks to Slappy for the extra time and check us out today at 3PM to see how we use it.

I’ve posted this on every other internet touchpoint I have, I’m not sure why I haven’t posted this here on the homebase. Mascot Wedding Productions has created an entry for the Drafthouse’s new video competition, Rewind Kindly. Inspired by the new Michel Gondry film, Be Kind Rewind, teams must remake a popular Hollywood movie in the same homemade “swede” style in 5 minutes.

Episode 010: The Lost Broadcast!

The magic boys are back on the air… but for not for long. About half way through the show, the station’s signal dies. Mac and David don’t know this and continue to soldier on. The signal probably killed itself after hearing Mac drone on about the Death Wish movies.

On the Air?

So last week, during our triumphant return to the airwaves, our station’s signal went off the air – right in the middle of our show. So we spent the first 15 minutes of the show trumpeting our return and boasting about how no one can touch the Mascot Wedding show and then we spent the last 15 minutes pumping out dead air. We didn’t know this of course. We were yukkin’ it up like nothing was wrong. The entire thing got recorded and will be posted as a podcast sometime this weekend.

New show this afternoon. Hopefully our electromagnetic hubris won’t doom us two weeks in a row.
