The Auburn Klansman & cosmic Jam-A-Thon breaks
When A fellow DJ named Brian decided to do an around the clock "Jam-a-thon", promising not to sleep or leave the station for 40 hours straight-- the opportunity to mess with his mind became too great to resist. These are the top-of-the-hour breaks designed to make the poor, sleep deprived Brian wonder what was really going on around him as the hours dragged on. Featuring Lynn Worthington & Kurt Kuersteiner
