Welcome to the new home for The Away Team with Walter Friendly, a radio show on WPRK 91.5 FM, Winter Park, Florida. Our show plays Friday mornings from 3:00 to 6:00 eastern standard time. We hope you'll become a fan.

Now, on a Starfleet crew, The Away Team is a small group of two or more who beams down to a planet's surface to do what is, basically, the captain's dirty work. We call our show The Away Team because we once had a captain who gave us a continuing mission to beam down to the radio station each week and show you something aurally magnificent. This is a goal we try to meet without fail.

This particular Away Team consists of three constant members and a cast of rotating guests. Our first officer, in command of this crew, is Walter Friendly, an amicable fellow with the heart of a cobbler. Oh, not a cobbler of streets, no no, but of course a cobbler of songs. And he is like to pick from all the broad areas of popular music which are generally pleasing to the ear, and to piece them together into sets that guarantee to take you somewhere. Ever at Walter's side is Darren Credible, the Team's chief engineer, who keeps things running smoothly with aplomb, checking our facts and always keeping his selections classic. The third and final permanent member of The Away Team is Special G. Now if Walter's songs are guaranteed to take you somewhere, Special G's songs are guaranteed to get you there flying, be it in a starship, a hot air balloon, or on the wings of some great mythical beast. His flights of fancy are unmatched.
