Concept
Raffi Radio "mimics an old-time radio show",[3] with children's songs interspersed with weather reports, guest interviews, and news segments.
Raffi and his puppet co-host Sleido JazzDog host the show from a radio station in the fictional location of Troubadouria.
From the shoreline of Troubadouria, somewhere over the bay, where the time is now and the place is right here, we bring you Raffi Radio vibrations...
It's the Raffi Radio Show, with your host, Raffi, and his co-host, Sleido JazzDog.
With friends and features, special guests, and delightful music for your listening pleasure.
