DT Radio -- 8-Oct-2009 -- WPRB Membership Drive Edition!
For another two+ broadcast days (as of this writing), WPRB-FM is conducting its annual membership drive. If you care about independent, free-form, free-association radio, managed by students and community volunteers, then please take a moment and visit now to pledge your support.
I was fortunate enough to share in the festivities, mostly in a logistical capacity but also behind the controls for an otherwise unloved slot beginning at 2am local time. I don't know that I pulled off anything special, but I certainly enjoyed myself and got a few guffaws and woots from the folks working the phones. Time to start challenging myself in some new ways for the next broadcast...
