Hey -- I'm now doing a show on CHIRP Radio, the internet station of the Chicago Independent Radio Project. We stream at http://chirpradio.org. Fellow Auditeers Shawn Campbell (who founded the station) and Jocelyn Geboy also have shows during the week. I'm on from 9 a.m. to Noon (CST). We play a lot of new independent stuff and every DJ then plays a variety of different things. Certainly not all pop, but I get a fair amount of it in there.
