I love my peeps at #WMPG! Despite threats of funding cuts to #CPB (which helps fund WMPG as well as Public Radio and Television), they are still celebrating #PRIDEMonth! YES!

"This June, WMPG is turning up the volume on love, identity, and community. Join us for a month-long celebration featuring #queer-themed music, powerful storytelling, and special programming that honors #LGBTQ+ voices past and present. From thought-provoking podcasts to live shows spotlighting queer artists and activists, we’re proud to stand with the community and share stories that inspire, uplift, and unite.

[Thread] So, it took having to do a search on the website, but I managed to find the #BlackHistoryMonth audio archives on the #WMPG website. Hopefully, the ones from 2025 will also be posted on their website (and the ones already posted won't disappear...).

A powerful #InterzoneRadio broadcast on #WMPGFM tonight (Feburary 10, 2025). Here's a link to the audio archives (available for 5 weeks). Lots about #ElonMusk, #DOGE and #CurrentEvents! #ResistFascism #USPol

https://www.wmpg.org/show/mon1900/#

[Thread] So, I noticed that #WMPG hasn't made a big deal about #BlackHistoryMonth features like they have in the past. However, #OnTheAir, they have mentioned it a lot! I've managed to catch a few of the Black History month-themed shows, and will be posting set lists and links to the audio archives (which will be available for 5 weeks after airdate). Screenshot is from a past Black History Month web page...

So, I will be posting some #FridayNightMusicVideos tonight -- based on #DJShaxx 's amazing setlist this past week on his show, #LeftOftheDial on #WMPGFM ! Music for #Resistance!

So, #WMPG seems to have resolved its website issues (a CAPTCHA trojan), so I feel good about sharing their links again.

This is the show where I heard a lot of revolutionary punk rock (as well as #MoonWalker). This was NOT the usual Blues show that usually is scheduled for that time slot!
