Babe Lloyd's Radio Show

The format of the show is eclectic music. That means all styles: metal, electronic, grunge, classical, jazz, country, folk, blues, rap, rock, experimental, punk, whatever.

Get Some West often features live on-air performances by western Canadian musicians. Those episodes are particularly good fun, for him at least.

The show broadcasts from 10pm to 11pm on Mondays. For time zone information, see below.
