Gifted & Blessed Radio is a monthly program hosted and curated by Gabriel Reyes-Whittaker, better known as GB. There is no specific genre, format or approach to be expected. Rather, each program will be centered around a different theme or concept through GB’s unique musical viewpoint. A combination of vinyl records, cassettes and live in-studio performances will comprise the source material for these programs.
