New Year, (more!) New Local Shows
We’re kicking off 2025 right, by filling the airwaves with even more locally made shows. This month, you’ll hear these new folks getting trained on the air with some of our current community members. As they are ready, the following shows will join us on the air in the weeks to come. Please give them a warm welcome when you hear them on the air (they may be a little nervous). Give a call to the studio, a chat through the website, and let them know you’re listening.
Civic Radio - A Vermont Communty Foundation funded partnership with the Civic Standard in Hardwick. This show will record the sounds, people, and concerts of the town, produced by a Civic Standard crew of volunteers. They’ll have a 6 month limited run (to start) in our Saturday monthly rotation, with the 2nd Saturday of the month at 9am.
The Rubber Room - a music show hosted by retired Johnson State professor, Dan Tower. This show will feature music recorded on 78s (swing, blues, and “black music” from the 20s, 30s, and that era of early music). Tune in Wednesdays 1-2pm.
Pitter Patter Radio - Hosted by Pat Kantner, this music show will feature a range of genres, focusing in on queer artists and more. Catch them in a monthly rotation on Saturday mornings 10am-noon.

The Wild Kindness - Hosted by Trevor Ziegler, this music show will explore the more off beat and obscure music you don’t hear anywhere else. Tune in Tuesdays, 12-2pm.
As always, we do our best to re-curate the syndicated programming we’ve aired (where these local shows are airing instead). Look for some minor changes to the lineup for where some of those shows will have gone (or retired). Thanks to our Programming Committee for giving such careful thought to how we continue to improve our programming to draw in even more Vermonters to tune in.
