20 years of WRIR!
It’s really hard to believe it, but WRIR’s been on Richmond’s FM airwaves since Jan. 1, 2005. I decided to play some songs from a few music shows that existed the year of our little radio station’s debut, as well as songs from some long-gone shows and a few that carry on today. I couldn’t fit everything in, of course, but here are shows represented tonight (in no particular order) on the playlist:
British Breakfast — including the first song ever broadcast on WRIR 97.3 FM, the Kinks’ “Around the Dial!”

Dream Girl Radio / EXT SRC presents:
Dream Girl Radio Episode 24: Andromeda Galaxy
Join me for this far out episode as we travel to the Andromeda Galaxy, our closest galactic neighbor at only 2.5 million light years away, I think we could all use little escapism. I’ll be playing some Dream Girl classics like Aphex Twin and Floating Points, along with some new artists I’m into. This episode is chill with nice lengthy songs to immerse yourself into, so prepare to ease your mind, and buckle in as we explore the final frontier together 🌌!
XOXO,
KDILLA

Where The Bears Sing presents:
Mostly Instrumental
As the year ends, I’m going to finish with some of my favorite instrumental tracks as well as a couple in foreign languages. Some are jazzy, some are spacey, some have lots of guitar and some are without guitars so – lots of variety.
