Treat yourself to some laid back tunes, interesting movie, and theatre show news for 2 hours with Sandra Diane Ward.

The Flower Power Hour begins on Friday 5:00pm to 8:00pm

The Flower Power Hour with Ken and MJ is an internationally syndicated and intricately produced radio show which began operation in September of 2021. The Flower Power Hour is currently heard on over 115 radio stations in 15 countries, as well as on Dash Radio Network, Pacifica Network, some NPR stations and now here in the UK on Ridge Radio.

We are playing back to back episodes of The Flower Power Hour starting at 5:00pm on Friday evenings.

It’s a flashback to the Golden Age of Flower Power, with music primarily from the 60s ,70s and early 80s, and it’s dedicated to the vibe of that era – peace, love, and rock and roll.  We include at least one song or quote about peace in every Flower Power Hour. While the focus is on music, we also mix in artist liners, interview snippets, and period comedy.

It is already endorsed by artists such as Donovan, Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull, Jorma Kaukonen of Jefferson Airplane and Hot Tuna, Roger McGuinn of the Byrds, Richie Furay of Poco and Buffalo Springfield, Nancy Wilson of Heart, Jim McCarty of the Yardbirds, Rick Wakeman of Yes, and dozens of others. Their liners and interviews in our show give it a level of credibility not heard on other shows of this type.

Ken Rundle’s extensive radio experience included early stays at WVIC, Lansing, MI, and w-4, Detroit. Next up was the legendary album-rocker, “The Zoo” in Dallas, where he was program director and had the #1 rated midday show. Other stops included Q-102, KZPS, KOAI, KRBE and KXCC in Texas, and the ABC Radio Classic Rock Network, where he was the top-rated jock in listener surveys. Ken’s also been an attorney, actor, and improv comedy performer and instructor.

MJ grew up in St. Louis and her extensive knowledge of rock and roll as well as her talent as an artist gave her incredible backstage access to all the early icons of album rock, including Cat Stevens, Alvin Lee, Jon Anderson, Donovan, Randy California, Elton John, and Ian Anderson. She was in charge of promotion and booking for an internationally known folk singer for several years. Her broadcasting career began in 2006 as co-host of the Ken and MJ Show on Radio Free Phoenix.
