FRIDAY FREE FOR ALL
Every Friday 7 - 10 a.m.
Hosted by Bill Paige
There’s always something going on in the Texas Hill Country, and the “Friday Free for All” is one place to find out where to go and what to do. Bill Paige is the host of the “Friday Free for All,” a weekly “wake up” show that features a wide range of topics, newsmaker interviews, and all kinds of music – from local up-and-coming artists to international stars making their way to the Live Music Capital of the World. There’s an extremely local aspect to the “Free for All” as well, from fundraisers and high school sports, to issues of interest to the family farmer. When you miss a little, you miss a lot, so drop in on the “Free for All,” 7 to 10 a.m., every Friday, exclusively on KDRP.
