First of all, I want to say thank you to the over 530 WRIR listeners who donated more than $45,000 during our Fall 2018 Fund Drive, making this the fifth consecutive drive where we’ve topped our $40,000 goal. You’re the folks who put the power in the Tower of Low Power!
It’s not too late to get in on the Fall ’18 Fund Drive action. We still have a T-shirt, reusable straw and knit cap with your name on them — just visit wrir.org and fill out the donation form. If you donated and haven’t picked up your swag yet, please email [email protected] — we’ll set up a time for you to come by and get your premiums.
This week it’s a special All Hallows Eve edition of Global A Go-Go, with special material for the day along with the standard fare. I’ll start with a famous Scottish ballad that’s set on Halloween; you’ll also hear from my favorite Dia De Los Muertos musical artist, Lila Downs; we’ll go to the Caribbean for a whole set of songs about duppies and jumbies; and you’ll hear one of the most chilling love songs ever recorded, courtesy of Ghana’s Ebo Taylor.
