Music
With Commie Francis
Music from all different genres from the 1910s to the 2020s. On a lyrical theme for the first two hours, FREEFORM MADNESS for the last hour.
it's time to acknowledge the STARMAKING POWER of WPRB and the Uneasy Listening universe of shows!
ok these artists may have already been stars or may be stars only in my heart but they all made songs that hit me (or my listeners) right at that moment. songs we got obsessed with, songs that made us realize we needed more from that artist or genre, songs that rekindled long dormant interests, songs associated with special radio moments of all sorts.
That's the magic of real, human-curated, independent community radio that values being different from what we've come to expect from 99% of radio in the 2020s - with every new song something may totally come out of left field and hit you in that SPOT. It might be nothing like what came immediately before it, but on a station like this you know you have to just keep listening because anything, ANYTHING can be next. WPRB is a special place and we need to do all we can to preserve it in the world. That is why I am a monthly donor! I hope you will consider joining me to support more of this sort f thing with a one-time or recurring tax deductible gift!
