Eric San is a world-reknowned turntablist who creates music under the name Kid Koala. Around the time of the release of The Slew's 100% album, Kid Koala made his way into our Denver studio for an interview and DJ set on three turntables. Kid Koala scratched up a batch of improvised versions of Skanky Panky, Robbing Banks (Doin' Time), and Audrey Hepburn's 1961 take on Moon River.

Hosted by John Schaefer (Originally recorded for broadcast on KGNU - December 11, 2009)
