Why you want to make it work:

The Wappin' Radio Show is typically about one-quarter talk and three-quarters music. On the talk side of it we bring you the main stories from Panama and occasionally a bit of international news, usually a major story from or directly affecting the Latin America and Caribbean region. (Wanna hear the latest gossip about entertainment stars? Go elsewhere. Our news component is serious.)

The music is an eclectic mix in some ways reminiscent of the old free form radio in the USA before the corporations took over and segregated it into rigid formats. We mostly play older music with which the Baby Boomer generation grew up and appreciated as young adults. However, we have elements of Panamanian, Latin American and Caribbean music that were never part of that scene. Invent a name for the format if you must, but it's something you won't find anywhere else on Panamanian radio. Nor, if you are living abroad and are interested in Panama, is our unique mix of talk and music anything like what you will find where you are living.
