His latest offering, "Be More Chill" tells a story of how a High School dork becomes cool through the aid of a supercomputer pill that shows him how to be a mack daddy. Ned also hosts several Author and Spoken Word events...tune in to find out how to be a part of it. If you want to be cool, tune in and watch Ned.

But avant-garde songwriter, singer, guitar player, and one helluva nice guy Patrick Boyd brings his melodic voice and interesting costumes to the program. Refer
