Late
with Taffeta V.
Each week I explore a theme with an eclectic mix of post punk, jazz, film scores, and deep cuts. I'll read poetry and prose by great authors, and share my own tales both strange and true.

“In her program Late with Taffeta V., Taffeta artfully blends storytelling and the type of intimate music programming most of us miss and look back fondly on. She has been a joy to work with and has become part of the KOPN family despite being based outside of Columbia, MO. Stations looking for quality, engaging programming or refreshing their station imaging with a new, yet strangely and immediately familiar voice should not overlook Taffeta.”

“Human-selected music and readings that is eclectic, unpredictable and very cool. Like its host. A great nighttime show one can enjoy anytime.”

“Taffeta V has the rare ability to force a listener into wanting more, simply by being herself. Balancing the danger of seduction reminiscent of Lynne Thigpen in the Warriors, with the truthful inquisitiveness of Paul Harvey Jr. Mix those two amazing traits with fantastic art in whatever form she chooses to expose, makes her shows anchors to my weekly rotation.”

Taffeta Vee plays music I haven't heard a thousand times and shows her listeners the uncommon respect of assuming we have brains between our ears. She's a GenX ninja, deadly smart, wicked funny. When Taffeta drops the needle, the madness of the world is vanquished.
