For the longest time PunkRadioCast has not had a Wikipedia page. I spent a long long time building one maybe 2 years ago and someone decided to delete the entire thing. Why? I am not quite sure to be completely honest, but we complained and complained and no one ever got back to us so we just left it. This was back when Wikipedia was a little less on top of people deleting and modifying there content, but still it’s totally lame.

Anyways, back to the point. We want your help to make us a Wikipedia page. If you have some wiki skills and want to help out an always to busy to do stuff like this radio station (who you love so very much) please email me (Danny) at danny@forkradio.com and I can provide any needed information pertaining to history or how maybe how many cans of A&W Root Beer were drank to finish very first website of some 9 years ago. The list goes on so drop me a line if you can help with this it is very appreciated!
