MEET OUR GREAT LISTENERS!
Astrid and Karl Eriksberg - Goteborg, Sweden
"Karl and I especially enjoy the ambient lounge of Sentient Dreams 101 -
DJ Executive spins us into a mood and keeps us there, we never miss him!"
Larry "Loony Bird" McCort Sr. - Madison, WI - USA
"Houseplant internet radio is the best. I pray to the holy soundwaves which
it emits and learn the Zen of Houseplant...Zontar from Planet 45 is my favorite show.
I love Zontar's 'special secret stash of scratchy 45s' - he always makes my day!"
Doug Gregson and Charlie Myers - Toledo, Ohio - USA
"Doug and I crank Houseplant radio during weekend party-down hours.
The Fly Girl (Maureen Arthur) is our favorite IDJ on HPS. Punk rock,
especially violent kick-ass punk rock is Doug and mine's all-time favorite music.
The Fly Girl always comes through and kicks out the jams. Right on Houseplant radio!"
Dagmar Lemmer and Alina Mülheimer - Düsseldorf, Germany
"Brent and Rick are the ROCK!...Mitchell and Fly Girl is the favorite. We enjoy the Houseplant radio!
All us party animals in Düsseldorf give our large shout out to HPS IDJs - - party with the HPS NOW!!!"
John Millinger - New York, NY
"I especially enjoy the more in-depth programming at HPS radio. The breadth of IDJ knowledge
regarding Martin Denny, Esquivel, Arthur Lyman, Percy Faith and that whole particular
unique strain of mid-to-late 50s and 60s Exotica-meets-Bachelor Pad music is just splendifluous.
And there's nothing wrong with the kooky 45s that crazy Zontar spins either! Gotta love it!!"
Phyllis and Craig Mackleby - Fresno, CA
"Craig and I appreciate the great work that the IDJs at HPS radio do in order
to present such quality programming. We're big Bob Simmons fans, of course.
We've also learned to appreciate the lesser-known HPS IDJs. Artie Candolini
has especially turned us on to some of the more obscure aspects of funk as it
was laid down in the late 60s and early 70s. Artie knows his stuff and he keeps it real
and we can feel it. We wouldn't get our funk anywhere else. Thanks HPS internet radio!"
