Today’s show: The sixteenth edition of an annual late summer tradition: Rob Weisberg and longtime sidekick Katie Gentile play radio ping-pong, trading tracks back and forth. This year's theme: Australia and New Zealand. Rob, as you may know, is an unpaid radio DJ and record geek. Katie, on the other hand, is an academic, blogger, author, open-water swimmer and violinist in the band The Special Pillow.

Katie’s second book, The Business of Being Made (Routledge) came out in January 2016. The Special Pillow most recent album is the lovely At the Earth's Core.
