Radio - Sunday, April 12th, 2020
During this time I have found that I have been a lot more reliant on radio for information and I hope that you have as well. So I thought I would start out with a song about the medium. Dave KW programmed most of this show by compiling a self-isolation playlist that he shared with me. All of tonight's show has themes about these times but most of the songs were written in a pre-covid-19 period with exception for tonight's demo feature. You can download the show here.
