New local shows in June!
To help us kick off the summer and our 5th year of community ownership, we’re excited to welcome on a few more local shows in June. These folks have been hard at work getting trained up in May. Please welcome to the air when you hear their first shows! We now have over 70 locally made shows airing each week — wow! that is up from just 23 shows as we started 2023. The transformation of how we sound on the air in these last two years is worth tuning in for. Find your new favorite show, check out the schedule here.

The return of Stranger and Deinger, with Natasha Deinger, in a new schedule slot, Wednesdays, 6-7pm. This locally made music and interview show and winner of “Niftiest Newbie Show 2024,” features local folks you know or will know by listening on the airwaves each week, telling their story through music and stories. This will start July 2 and will replace the rerun of Democracy Now! This is part of our Programming Committee’s careful work to put more locally centered content (news, stories, and more) in the Monday-Friday, 6-7pm schedule slot.
The Broken Bois Collective Presents… Hosted by Khonsu X & Titan, (1st Thursdays of the month). Each monthly episode would be a different story told in our Brechtian // Horspiel manner and include free audio archives, songs, and what we like to call "talk-back radio". We do experimental radio plays. There’s a little bit of stand-up, a lot of social commentary, and voices creating a loose plot, that changes every time we engage with the piece. Starting Thursday, July, 6pm.
Under the Covers with DJ Rhizosphere, a new all covers music show made by a new local programmer (3rd Saturdays). Starting Sat. July 20, 10am-noon.
