Young Person's Radio
Young Person's Radio is the only show on the airwaves where you are guaranteed to be cooler than the host. Comedian Colby Smith guides you through his weekly endeavors to rise above dork-dom, and his guests are (luckily) among New York’s most interesting and innovative writers, comedians, artists and more. Together they’ll take calls, share stories, and maybe give Colby some hope about one day entering the world of the relevant. YPR airs every Sunday from 10-11am on Radio Free Brooklyn.
