Episode #612

It’s Pledge-O-Rama time again! This is the one show a year where we turn the power over to the listeners and ask them to help keep us going and growing. The generous support of our listeners puts the wind in our sales and helps us to fix broken equipment and take on new projects. We’ve been very lucky to have such great support from our listeners. In return, we try to put on an extra special show. Today we have the world premiere of the brand new album from Winnipeg icons the D. Rangers and we have some other Winnipeg icons, The Fuse (aka Hatcher-Briggs) live in the studio to sing and chat!
