This whole month, we’re ringing in 25 years of Bullseye being on the airwaves. If you’ve heard our archives you might have heard Bullseye referred to as The Sound of Young America. That was the show’s original name when it started as a college radio show back at Santa Cruz’s KZSC. 

To kick off our 25th anniversary, we’re bringing you the first of many celebrations: a spectacular live show recorded at LAist 89.3 in Pasadena at their Crawford Family Forum.

We’ll have interviews with Roy Wood Jr., Jason Mantzoukas, music from Rebecca Sugar. Plus, standup comedy from Al Madrigal.

Roy Wood Jr. joined us to talk about his book – The Man of Many Fathers: Life Lessons Disguised as a Memoir. Jason Mantzoukas talked about being known as an improv guy and his time on Taskmaster.  You can check out Rebecca Sugar’s latest EP Lonely Magic on Bandcamp.
