The Roberta Roberts Power Hour
The Roberta Roberts Power Hour is back for its final season and absolutely no one is happy about it. Not Northeastern, not WRBB, not the community - hell - Roberta doesn’t even want to be here. But in all seriousness, this is the end of an era. In a few short months, you will never ever have to hear the Power Hour ever again. At this point you know the drill, Roberta, DJ Harvey, punk, post-punk, and garage rock, blah blah blah. Join us for a last few weeks of f*cking up the airwaves every Wednesday at 10 pm only on WRBB 104.9 fm Boston.
