Brought to you by Reverend Aquaman and the motley crew that are the 107.5 andHow.FM Air Force are jamming the free world, one person at a time. Since 1998 we have been filling your bandwidth and your airwaves, with stuff you wish you heard on the radio, plus your requests! 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year on the interwebz and Down Underground at 107.5 FM in Paremata, Onepoto, Titahi Bay, Mana, Plimmerton, Karehana Bay, Whitby, Aotea, Papakowhai, Porirua Harbour/Pauatahanui Inlet, New Zealand plus over 170 other countries all over the world!
Originally, a dream that was realized while we were broadcasting from laptops and lawn chairs high a-top the Rainbow Bridge in Bridge City, Texas. We have come thus far on our journey, almost 15 years later to the other side of the planet in Papakowhai, New Zealand. The veterans, defenders and caretakers of independent, commercial-free, internet radio now securely established deep in the studio bunker...in the new, world headquarters for AndHow.
AndHow Web Radio was 'socially interacting' in the 'cloud' even before the Dot.com crash of the early 2000's. We were once taking our requests via ICQ and by e-mail, streaming to the world via dial-up internet in the days BEFORE broadband. Suddenly we were able to help make a very big world seem like a very cozy place to live.
Today, andHow.FM is still socially interacting with the world via Twitter, Facebook, MySpace & our website. Broadcasting locally on 107.5 FM & on the internet at andhow.FM, we still love to bring new music to fans all over the world. We even give you the ability to "program andHow.FM" by picking selections from our library and getting them played back on the air via our requests page! Similar to Pandora & Spotify, but instead of an audience of one, you have a audience of thousands! http://www.andhow.org/playing.html
TODAY'S '107.5 andHow.FM AIR FORCE' includes:

DJ Hobo has one foot planted staunchly in the past and one foot pointed inquiringly at the future.....it's a good job he's got the 'MOODS FOR MODERNS' time machine to ramble about in. He wants take you along on a musical journey. Back in time and bang up to date, electronically and organically fuelled...there's only one certainty: there's not really a destination. Status: Ready for departure. Genre: unspecific. Pilot: unhinged
On 'SIDEWAYS WITH A BADGER', Chris Munday delivers another 'dose' of retro, punk, new wave, blues and glam rock. Blowing the dust of the vinyl, cassette & 8-tracks he brings you some of the classic tracks you'd forgotten that you loved, from the Stranglers to Siouxsie Sioux, The Ramones to the Rolling Stones and Bowie to Blondie. His only brief is to raid the 20th Century for the best in rock and roots of rock.

Adjust your raspberry beret, move your tricolor rat tail aside, put on your headphones, light up a clove (if you got 'em), and tune in! Glare with disdain at anyone that doesn't get it.
'THE POWER POP SHOW' - The credo of the Power Pop Show is simple: bring quality, melodically-driven rock to people who enjoy music. Your host Jeff Shelton meets in the middle, where melody and rock peacefully co-exist. If it rocks AND your mom likes it, it’s probably power pop!
