No one may spread holiday cheerfulness better than Real.Fun.DC founder Tommy McFly. As he gears up for non-stop Holiday Cheers on the independent broadcast channel, we caught up with him to ask about tips for keeping the holiday spirit alive and his favorite go-to spots.
It’s been two years since you and Kelly Collis launched “Real.Fun.DC.” and now you have recently rebranded to “The Tommy + Kelly Show” and added five shows to the schedule of the District-focused broadcast channel. You’ve been busy!
It’s going incredibly well at “Real.Fun.DC.” Passing the mic to friends like Nycci Nellis to bring her curated taste to our platform has been awesome. Kelly and I hope to continue to welcome dynamic voices to share their perspectives on our local independent broadcast channel. DJ Neekola, Carlos Rice, Courtney Laughlin, and Shannon Finney have brought a new energy to our programming in time for a new year.
