Joan Zexinger joanzexinger@proton.me
Pandemics have long been a tool of oppressive empires, and the ongoing sacrifice of our lives to Covid-19 is no exception. As more and more of us are (further) disabled or killed by this virus and efforts to prevent its spread cease almost completely, we’re having conversations over the radio waves about our interconnected survival; collective resistance to ableism; finding community, solace, and beauty in unexpected places; and widely what it means — in the resounding words of bell hooks — to “survive the wars, the hardships, the sickness, and the dying with our spirits intact.” Now seven years into this pandemic, these are reruns of our 2024 season that are unfortunately as relevant as ever. You can find us, resources, and solidarity at forsmallcreaturessuchaswe.substack.com.SU 2000-2100 The Undercurrent
Roy Layer rhlayer@yahoo.ca
The Undercurrent tells stories about musicians, producers, record labels and other music related subjects from around the world and spanning the last 75 years or so. The program combines concepts with representative music that goes beyond the mainstream to expose listeners to music that they either missed or may never have heard before. The scope of the music includes blues, rock, folk, world, jazz, classical, experimental and various types of fusion. The intention is to get at the heart and soul of the subject and inspire the listener by discussing the approach, beliefs and context of the ideas presented, the music and the people involved.SU 2100-2230 Blues Themes Delivered By The Milkman
