Most of the studios within MPR have a very clean and tidy appearance. But there needs to be a little visual chaos to go along with the aural chaos we create every day. The Current plays rock and roll - so we have photos of our heroes (Keith Richards, Iggy Pop, Liam Gallagher, Little Richard) and our friends (autographed stuff from Metric, My Morning Jacket, Raphael Saadiq). -Jim McGuinn, Program Director
The 'Kiddie Table.' The small table closest to the door where, when the space is needed, a third guest sits. It's at the height of the mixing console when the console is in its fully-lowered (i.e. sitting) position - which it never is. So it looks like a kiddie table or some kind of table of shame.

Outside the studio, the large Current logo made in tile mosaic, made by Mercury Mosaics in Northeast, where the Morning Show went on a Coffee Break On The Road once. -Steve Seel, host of The Current's Morning Show
(There's a smaller mosaic that Mac Wilson's friend Chris Miller made. Miller is active with the LoLa Art Crawl.)

And then there's the Paula Abdul 45 tacked up on the wall - always at the ready - in case of emergency, let MC Skat Kat (who is actually our production director Derrick Delite Stevens) out of its cage and onto the air!
