Disco No Disco
DJ: Sasha KT"Thank you very much. The Cylon war is long over. Yet we must not forget the reasons why so many sacrificed so much in the cause of freedom. The cost of wearing the uniform can be high. But...sometimes it's too high. You know, when we fought the Cylons, we did it to save ourselves from extinction. But we never answered the question of 'Why?' A young Ensign once asks me, 'Why are we as a people worth saving?' I could not answer him then and I can’t answer him now. As a people we still commit murder because of greed, spite, jealousy...We still visit all of our sins upon our children...Commander Tolan once told me that you can’t outrun the sins of your family and as a species we refuse to accept responsibility for anything that we've done…like we did with the Cylons. We decided to play God. Create life...When that life turned against us...we comforted ourselves in the knowledge that it really wasn't our fault, not really. But like Ensign Wallace says, it was our fault…no one else to blame…You cannot play god then wash your hands of the things that you've created. Sooner or later, the day comes when you can't hide, from the things that you've done, anymore." - Commander Adama

CTA Radio
DJs: Pugs Atomz, KMax, Aja the Cover'It'GirlCTA Radio started eleven years ago on a trial basis as a collaboration between KMax, Thaione Davis, & Pugs. After a few months of devoted listenership and street popularity, the show became a mainstay at the station where it was a haven for undiscovered and established local talent and an outlet for new music and classic hip-hop/rap. Pugs, Aja the Cover'It'Girl, & DJ KMax bring you playlists that includes more than just one genre. It’s possible to hear a variety of music ranging from Soul, Broken Beat, House (Progressive), Electronica, to the ‘Undefined’ category. During the course of the show, they've had the airwaves graced with interviews of legend as well as local artists. There is also a ‘rant’ or social commentary that is always open for discussion throughout the show. Topics can range from new technology/electronics to politics--local and abroad--or just random thoughts that crosses their minds. This show is definitely a weekly treat!
