Episode 48 marks a quiet transition into 2026 — no countdown, no confetti, just forward motion. This is Funky Friday staying the course: disciplined grooves, steady momentum, and funk that knows when not to flinch.

Forty shows deep and still the real deal. FUNK XL celebrates the full spectrum of groove — from the spark of “Comencemos” to the swagger of Johnny Guitar Watson, blending reflection, joy, and fire in true Renegade fashion. From Signal Fire to Jungle Fire… let’s get started.

Funky Friday explodes onto two stations with Episode 35: LibraSonic — now airing every Friday at 9PM on KCSM HD2 and KDOG Radio. This cosmic funk journey tips the scales between chaos and control, from Miles Davis and James Brown to Prince, George Duke, and Weather Report. As promised: this episode is gonna blow your wigs off.

Funky Friday hits a milestone with Episode 30 — the Dirty 30. This set rumbles like a late-night train ride: James Brown’s Hot Pants, Rick James’ Super Freak, and deep cuts like Rock Creek Park fuel a graffiti-splattered journey through raw, underground funk.

The groove is gospel in Funky Friday’s Episode 28: Ministry of Funk. We open and close with a tribute to Eddie Palmieri’s Harlem River Drive, the Latin-funk masterpiece that broke boundaries and moved bodies. In between, it’s an hour of funk sermons from James Brown, Parliament, Tower of Power, and more — a full-on service for the disciples of the groove.

A cross-country celebration of funk’s hometown heroes—from Dayton to Oakland, Minneapolis to NOLA. Funky Friday Episode 25 brings the groove city by city.
