In turn each naughty panelist is given a topic to talk about for sixty seconds without repeating themselves, pausing too long, or deviating from the subject (They can be deviants, they just can't deviate from the subject).

Thu Nov 8 Red City Radio
Red City Radio! Rock! Hurtling out of Oklahoma City in whirlwind of dust and fire, Red City Radio have been making quite a stir since the release of their 2009 debut EP, To The Sons And Daughters Of Woody Guthrie. Playing socially aware, emotionally driven rock 'n' roll, the band have followed through on the promise of that EP to produce incredibly impressive and ambitious albums. Dominated by raucous, gruff-voiced sing-alongs that are as catchy as they are brash and as anthemic as they are rebellious, this band is the product of four songwriters sharing an undeterred sense of purpose and being.
