CiTR -- Particles and Waves

Much like the quantum theory which inspired its name, the content of Particles and Waves defies definition until directly observed, and can produce unexpected results--local indie, sci-fi prog rock, classic soul, obscure soundtracks, Toto's deep cuts, and everything in between. Join Mia every Tuesday at 2pm for a quirky journey through music that will delight and intrigue.
