FM #1700 = This is the Franklin Matters radio show, number 1700 in the series.
This session shares my conversation with David Butler, also known as “Vibe”. Vibe started with one show, Turntables (The Turntable Show), in conjunction with Pauly G, and now does a separate (podcast) show called “The Vibe”. You can listen to both at wfpr.fm or on Soundcloud. We had our discussion at the Franklin TV Studios on Thursday, March 12, 2026.
We talk about
Creation of The Vibe experience
The fun place to explore and learn at Franklin Public Radio
Show development, how they come to be
