We just wrapped up the KRTU fall membership drive where I was at the radio station all day before spending these three hours live in the on-air booth to close things out. Melanie Cordell, my timeslot neighbor, has been a stalwart host, never wavering or flagging (she’s even on the air all day on Christmas), but fell ill recently, so I swooped in to cover her show while still doing so in my own way. Besides that, The Line-Up is bringing the newness as always, so there’s three hours here of newness that you’ll definitely dig. Suffice it to say, though, I’m not writing blurbs this week for each song selected. That would be far too immense and hopefully my glowing commentary is enough.
