Episode 979 is coming from Radio Free Amsterdam headquarters in Detroit’s Cass Corridor with music from the legendary New Orleans deejay and radio personality known as the Black Pope, who ruled the airwaves in the Crescent City during the closing years of the 20th century. Someone sent me thi aircheck and I edited down to a hour for Radio Free Amsterdam listeners to dig this unique on-air personality.
