A message from one of our Gym Leaders at PPL East 2024, DJ/G!
“All you challengers and leaders who participated at PPL two weeks ago at East already know this, but as DJ/G, “The Musically Omnivorous Radio Host,” I spent almost the entirety of PAX taking both challengers and song requests to accompany those battles, and 26 of you (Thank you so much!!), in addition to providing the soundtrack to the weekend, also took me up on the offer to record your voices for part of the upcoming episode of my IRL radio show, The Andover Special. Well……….. the time has come! It’s officially available now on Mixcloud, where all of my shows are archived. Tune in, rock out, and enjoy the music-induced flashbacks you may get if you were there in person.”

A huge thank you again to everyone who participated this year at PPL East 2024, and especially thank you to our amazing Gym Leaders for taking the time out of their schedules to make PPL a memorable experience for everyone involved! Without you, we would have no PPL. Hope to see everyone again in 2025!
