The Breakfast Show's International Liason.
Yogi has traversed the world with everyone from Slayer and Weird Al Yankovich, to Natalie Cole. His tales from the road rival many-a good men, and the Slayer Gold Record in his name puts Yogi two steps ahead of the rest while remaining in a league of his own.
His calls from the road bring Yogala's experience to the listenership, whilst keeping the dirt under his fingernails very well documented.
From avid listener to essential ingredient... he da-man.

Host - Reverend Donnie Black
Donnie Black was converted to the Rock n' Roll faith at the tender age of five. Unofficially serving the Ministry of Rock n' Roll for over two decades, Donnie Black was officially ordained out of Modesto, California's ULC (Universal Life Church) April 15, 2004.
A gregarious, passionate and creative individual, the Archbishop Black brings excitement to every thing he touches. In fronting the band Zappninblack, the Reverend found his microphone a key element to having his personal maxim heard loud n' clear: “It is always better to be justified by Rock n' Roll than to be vindicated by man.”
Always with an opinion and never flinching to contend for the faith, his greatest love is preaching The Word of Rock n' Roll in it's purity and simplicity.
Weather Man - Saint Pat
Irish marauders raided Pat's village at the age of 16, and he was sold into slavery. During his captivity he grew aware of thy Metal's presence, and became a defender of his faith. Upon escaping his confines, Pat is said to have illustrated the Trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit by using a shamrock leaf or clover with its three strands. His mission has since lasted more than twenty years.
Pat has a cause, a passion, a purpose, and a destiny. He risked his life for thy Metal his savour. Subsequently, he retired as the Breakfast Show's weather man.
