At night, the whole family would sit around the radio listening to memorable broadcasts of radio programs, such as The Lone Ranger, President Roosevelt's addresses to the United States, or Orson Welles' unforgettable broadcast of War of the Worlds . Since it first aired in January 1993, there have been memorable episodes featuring David Koresh and his Sex Kittens From Hell , the eerie Sea-Songs at Night , and the popular radio version of James Joyce's Ulysses set in Knoxville. There's nothing else like it on the radio in this area. They have often been known to call the show and voice their opinions or make comments about different episodes that played. But for the most part, that does not disturb the routine of the show too badly.

Scripts are usually written by students, professors or people in the community. Once a script is chosen, then it is acted out by different students, most of whom are working on their Masters of Fine Arts degrees. Much of their hard work has paid off with the result of such specialty shows like Derek Whittaker's House O'Fun put on by Derek Whittaker, who has a MFA in theater and The Rich Flemball Show , a spoof on The Rush Limbaugh Show produced by Mark Creter, a theater professor at Tennessee Technological University.
