Update: John chats with Tracy Ross on Sounds Good about the show on August 21, 2015. Audio added.
John Null hosts a new show heavily rooted in the underground music scene of the 1980s. Artists like The Smiths, The Replacements, The Cure, New Order, David Bowie and Depeche Mode form the substratum of Left of the Dial, but you’re guaranteed at least a couple Reagan-era jams every week that you’ve never heard before.
You’ll also hear ‘70s punk and glam and an occasional jaunt into the contemporary. He has special episodes already brewing, like an all-movie soundtrack edition and an eerie Halloween playlist.
Null has been with WKMS' newsroom since before graduating from Murray State University in 2013. He is also the local host of All Things Considered Friday afternoons.
Tune in for Left of the Dial Friday nights from 9 to 11 p.m. after World Café.
