Jared McKetiak is the longtime big wheel down at Winnipeg's mighty campus/community radio staple UMFM 101.5.
We sat down for a conversation about falling in love with alternative radio, how the station navigated the pandemic, and the way UMFM stays afloat thanks to the generosity of its passionate listeners.
Did you know that UMFM is one of the many places you can hear Witchpolice Radio? Tune in at 7 a.m. Fridays!
(Since UMFM’s Pledge-O-Rama fundraising drive is happening right now, this one jumped the queue and came out before a previously-recorded interview I did about the city's other campus/community station, CKUW. Stay tuned for that one!)
