Paul Smith is Hitting the Road!

"Dat" of the infamous "Dis and Dat Show" will no longer be half of the fun Sunday Afternoon team. The previous host of the "Polka Show", Paul has been doing the "Dis and Dat Show" with Joe Stevens (Dis) for sometime now. We are sad to say Paul is leaving the island. All of us here at KMXT bid him adieu and wish him all the best in his travels.
Not to worry Sunday afternoon listeners, Joe will continue the show. Whether it is Dis alone or a new Dat joins in, The Show Must Go On!
Hey Joe, are Max and Harvey going with Paul? Guess we will have to tune in to find out:)
