To celebrate the upcoming 39th Anniversary of CIUT FM, I have edited and formatted a 1992 interview with legendary British bassist and producer Jah Wobble. Wobble is a prolific global fusion musician and a former founding member of the British post-punk band Public Image Ltd.

And in hour two of the show, I'm featuring a live in-studio performance by legendary Canadian eccentric, Chris Houston. This performance first aired during the summer of 1990, on Dave O Rama's old CIUT FM program, Alligator Wine, with technical production by D B Hawkes.
