Other programming

  • Wax and Wane t with Gianna "It was never a phase." Join Gianna on Wax and Wayne, the ultimate show for all things post-punk, new wave, and beyond. Inspired by the Cocteau Twins song, this show is a carefully curated journey through Gianna's favorite tracks—because for her, this music was never just a fleeting interest. Each episode is a two-hour experience, starting with a high-energy set of 80s new wave hits before transitioning to a more mellow, yet equally powerful, second hour.
