Mixed Messages Radio

Where clarity is optional, but vibes are guaranteed.

Join your hosts JJ, Joey Polish, and Kota-For-Now as they unravel the chaos of culture, music, and whatever else crosses their minds. Expect sharp wit, wild tangents, and the kind of chemistry you can’t fake. From hot takes to deep dives (and the occasional complete derailment), no topic is safe—but every show is a ride.

It's messy, it's magical, it's Mixed Messages Radio. Tune in and try to keep up.
