Kevin Shields

Show schedule

Thursday 12pm–3pm

I listened to CHIRP for years before becoming a volunteer in the summer of 2022.

About Kevin Shields

I've been volunteering at CHIRP for nearly 4 years now, and DJing for 3.5 or so. But before that, for years, I was a regular listener. CHIRP was, and still is, different. I think CHIRP is what radio is supposed to be - no commercials, no agenda, no nonsense, no nothing but music. Brought to you by people who love music.
