Hosted by Mike Roots, âReggae Explorationsâ on Wednesdays from 1:00p to 3:00 PM, is WAPJâs longest running show, having its start (as âPositive Vibrationsâ) at the stationâs inception in March of 1997.
On âReggae Explorationsâ youâll hear a mix of tracks from newer and lesser known artists, classic tunes, and deeper cuts than you would normally hear elsewhere. In addition, youâll be treated to the âMotherland Track of the Weekâ, a âLovers Rock Setâ and even the occasional âsurpriseâ selection.
Mike Roots is a reggae artist and reviewer, and brings an inside perspective with interesting facts to enhance the listening experience. Tune in to âReggae Explorationsâ for your weekly excursion into the world of strictly conscious, roots and culture, reggae music.
