Friday's Show: English Literature!

Hey Listeners/Readers/Love-of-our-lives,

What do Jennifer Connolly, J.K. Rowling, and our own DJ Lauren all have in common? They are all English Majors!
So you better believe that this Friday's show will be the greatest. 
Tune in Friday from Midnight-2 to hear all English literature-inspired songs, and possibly hear Lauren's melodic voice reading from the Canterbury Tales.

Be there!
