About Our Show

black logo with orange swirl with text Two Rooms at the End of the world.

Two Rooms at the End of the World is a sister broadcast to KXRW’s Ever Present Past. Much in the same vein of EPP, Two Rooms at the End of the World is a show focusing on music of the past that doesn’t get its fair share of coverage in today’s status quo, but is a stirct showcase of songs and music as opposed to hybrid storytelling. In the hour broadcast, Michael Sarno delves into obscure classics from yesterday including deep cuts, B-Sides, demos, live performances and covers that radio has seemed to have forgotten about, and a few from today that help keep the spirit alive.
