Hosts Kayleen and Jordan lay the groundwork for their new project, the very amateur and very unofficial Untitled NewsRadio Podcast! This is the first episode we recorded. The sound quality is pretty low and we clearly don't know what we're doing, but we have a lot of fun. If you want to jump straight into the NewsRadio content, you can probably skip this one. If you want to get to know your hosts beforehand, here we talk a lot about TV, podcasts, and ourselves.
Welcome to WKJP NewsRadio, the very unofficial podcast about the 1990s NBC sitcom NewsRadio. Hosts Kayleen and Jordan tell you what this thing is, why they're doing it, and what you can expect to hear... But mostly they just make each other laugh. Theme music is "You Say But You Don't Know" by Trouble's Afoot.
