...so this one ended up with very serendipitous timing. I actually recorded it near the beginning of April, but it got bumped by a few time-sensitive episodes. By complete coincidence, its eventual release date -- today, April 30 -- is the 25th anniversary of CKUW 95.9 FM on the public airwaves!
Tune in for a chat with CKUW’s program director, Scott Price, about the auspicious anniversary (and the upcoming live show to celebrate it), the importance of DIY volunteer-driven media, and much more!
Note: I lost about two minutes of audio right at the end of our conversation, so the very tail end of this episode uses the backup recording, which is slightly lower-quality... in case you were wondering why the sound changes.
