After three weeks of radio recovery The Jerk returns live to Studio B with a sunny-funny set about illness, disease, disability and the dismantling of the ameikkkan social safety net domestically and internationally. It's two hours of (often fun, weather appropriate and not entirely bleak - we promise) tunes from Abner Jay, Joe Jackson, Ted Hawkins, Poison Girls, Dr. Octagon, Carol Douglas and more!
