A one-hour special that is a sharp and compelling portrait of a continent alive with intellectual ferment, with charismatic creatures of both avian and human varieties, and with poignant human interest. Reporter Glenn Zorpette traveled to Antarctica where he interviews personnel as diverse as scientists & a bartender. Spend a night at the South Pole, talk to field scientists in one of Antarctica’s legendary, ice-free “Dry Valleys,” use the only cash machine on the entire continent, and visit the century-old expedition huts of explorers Robert Falcon Scott and Ernest Shackleton. A sound-rich program with the cackling and bleating of penguins in the world’s southernmost rookery, the gentle trickling of water from an ancient glacier, and the throaty roar of a drill boring polar ice.
Radio Phoenix presents Antarctica on:
Tuesday August 24th from 10-11 PM, Thursday August 26th from 10-11 AM, Saturday August 28th from 5-6 PM and Sunday August 29th from 6-7 PM.
TRUCKIN' MY BLUES AWAY
This music-rich hour-long special introduces listeners to the stories and sounds of four older Southern bluesmen- and to the efforts of Tim Duffy, founder of the Music Maker Relief Foundation, to help lift these musicians from poverty and obscurity. The musicians cover a wide swath of the South: Boo Hanks from Virgilina, Va; Captain Luke from Winston-Salem, N.C.; Eddie Tigner from Atlanta; and Little Freddie King from New Orleans. In their own words and performances, these men bring us the story of a music, an era and a culture that are uniquely American.
Radio Phoenix presents Truckin' My Blues Away on:
Tuesday August 24th from 5-6 PM, Thursday August 26th from 9-10 AM, Saturday August 28th from 4-5 PM and Sunday August 29th from 7-8 PM.

Let's talk about music... two new articles!

Being in community radio and working to build this mighty indie empire is certainly rewarding in itself. But what would it be worth if were just doing it for our own enjoyment? You may not know it, but much of the time we sit around wishing someone would talk to us and ask about why we do what we do. Well, luck would have it that some fellow music lovers had really nice things to say about us:
YabYum Music is all about local music. It's an online magazine and compendium of live bands, venues, and more - focused on the Phoenix Valley. Our music director, Jeremy Deatherage, got to talk to them about our music philosophy - why exactly is it that local and independent sounds are so important to us and our listeners. Read about it here!
And then, Frank Gallardo, a contributor to the SilverPlatter, wrote about his experience as a guest deejay on his blog. So cool to get feedback and involvement from other music enthusiasts in the area. You know what? This is your music! Thanks for dropping the needle with us, we'll see you again soon!
