Show schedule

Thursday 9am–12pm

About The Panda

The human connection is very powerful and I wish I had more time to listen to the radio. You are better when you make others better. The Panda thinks CHIRP Radio is a special place and works hard to keep it that way. I hope we can all work together to support music, arts, and culture. Thank you for being a listener and supporter!
