Tonight was an Irreverent Radio first: Shawn R hosted the show without any in-studio guests or co-hosts. However, we did have the awesome Tyler Hollywood on with us during the second hour to keep things interesting. Also played some great 80s tunes… and simul-casted on Justin.TV! All in all, a great show. Thanks to everyone for listening, and thanks to Antubert, Chris from Texas County, and Packer from Georgia for their calls.

If you missed our March 2nd show, you should definitely give it a listen. Here’s what we talked about…
