Khadija – live and in control on FM-99 |
| |
Wow! Brad Pitt is hosting a show on FM. That's really exciting. But what type of show is he hosting. Something that will take my heart away or something that will shake the listeners or make other RJs of the FM channels feel like they are on losing end. No! Actually he is also doing what other RJs do on radio like playing songs and sharing views on a topic. Ooh No! That's really disappointing, I thought he might be doing some thing different that would make him different form other RJs
