Participate in the madness Monday–Friday @ 7 PM (PST) / 9 PM (CST) at www.kfxmradio.com or via the KFXM- APP.  If you miss the live broadcast, you can catch the replay on our website's podcast player, but you’ll also be forfeiting your chance to win massive prizes, if we actually have any prizes, Ed steals everything. Choose wisely my friend. 

A NOTE ON SOCIAL MEDIA:

We don’t use it. They allegedly can’t (or won't), adhere to our privacy policies, so we just laugh and walk away. Remember: friends don’t let friends stalk each other on social media. You’re welcome.


Tune in to Evening Zoo in the Country for a genuine escape into two hours of laughter and great tunes. Originally airing on KFXM Radio in Redlands, California, this show finds its second life as a podcast, delivering the same lively, unscripted energy that made it a local favorite. Each episode is a carefully curated mix, blending classic and contemporary country music with spontaneous, lighthearted comedy bits. The whole point is to offer a break from the daily grind-you won't find any political debates, social media deep dives, or heavy commentary here. Instead, it’s like hanging out with friends who know how to have a good time, where the jokes are easy and the music always fits the mood. These podcast episodes are released after their initial broadcast on a small radio market, preserving that authentic, community-radio feel. If you’re looking for a place where the only requirement is to kick back and smile, this is it. The Evening Zoo in the Country podcast is your ticket to a simpler, funnier, and more melodic evening.
