High-spirited KNBR radio personalities Murph & Mac (aka Brian Murphy and Paul McCaffrey) return as the dayโ€™s dynamic Masters of Ceremonies along with KPFAโ€™s โ€œDead to the Worldโ€ radio host Tim Lynch. Andy Cabic of Vetiver fame will keep the groove going all day long, spinning records between sets.
