I hated seeing the old format go, but slimming down to three weekends seems to be much better for booking. These names are huge. Happy for Milwaukee

There are songs from this era that I loved (and I even know the title/artist) but they're just gone. To the ether. So this is cool
Nashville’s Alex Caress had all but given up on music. Little did he know, passionate fans of a song that he wrote more than 20 years ago, have been trying to find him for years. It all started with a mix tape.

You can order a gyro at Arby’s now because one night in the 70s a woman in Milwaukee had the idea to make gyros a nationwide staple and made it happen https://t.co/5XKYrwovJy

THIS JUST IN: Nashville Public Radio has surpassed its $400,000 emergency fundraising goal. Thank you! This organization will still have to address a lost funding source moving forward, and you can still show support: https://t.co/Ld6b40QPdg.
Instead of federal funding, it will be community support that sustains Nashville Public Radio. WPLN and WNXP need to raise another $20,000 today. This community has rallied this week — and you can help fill the funding gap at https://t.co/G9A48eVCJL.

Tammy Baldwin introduced an amendment to take public funding cuts out of the bill. If Wisconsin single handedly saves public radio I will be so annoying that you will wish they made the cuts
