Check back often to see what rad things are happening on Finders Keepers which broadcasts on Kent State University's Black Squirrel Radio.
Tune in every Friday from 4-6PM to hear undiscovered & unsigned artists of the Pop-Punk/Alternative genre.
In addition to the "finders" I will be playing those favorites, or "keepers", to remind you why you love them so much.
