On today’s show:
- CHSR has joined forces with The Cap and numerous local bands to produce Postponed: The Mixtape. For today only, this album will help raise money for the station, the venue and the artists. Pay What You Can, Give Generously, Share The Facebook Post Widely.
- It’s May 1st, which means the new season has officially begun in the pagan world! Today is Beltaine, or if you are in the southern hemisphere, Samhain.
- Recognize the hard work (or currently, lack of work…) for school-related jobs, as it is both School Bus Drivers’ Day and School Principals’ Day.
- Stare lovingly into the sky tonight, as it is Space Day.
- Stare lovingly at your new front door, as it also New Home Owners’ Day.
- And you are at home anyway, so why pants? Celebrate No Pants Day, and sing along to TWRP‘s No Pants Dance at the end of the show today.
- Because May is Mental Health Month, I revisited an interview I did with Steve, Keith and Rick in 2017 about their struggles, hopes and survival of mental health issues.
- We also flashback to 2018 and the release of Brookside Mall‘s debut album, from with Bondo picked Joan.
- There are two (local-ish) concert series to consider today:
