Our last radio show of the school year is tomorrow!


The U-90 Alternative
I put 2 and 2 together and realized that tomorrow (Sunday, 8 May 2005, 2-4pm) is our last radio show of the 2004-2005 school year – yikes! No cool guests scheduled like last week, but it should still be fun in a more typical Unhindered By Talent sort of way (whatever the hell that means!). So tune in at 89.7FM if you can see UMM’s spiffy new wind turbine from your house, and the rest of you can listen on-line.

Sorry, by the way for the complete silence over the last week. The end of the semester is kicking me about the room, and I’m currently trying to get things ready for the Genetic Programming in Theory and Practice (GPTP) workshop in Ann Arbor next week. Going to a workshop during the second half of finals week just wasn’t the smartest plan. The interview with Dr. Reagon was a complete blast, and her concert with the UMM Choir on Tuesday was really something. I really need to say more soon before it completely leaves my head, but there are too many fires to put out first.

If you’re in desparate need of a fix, WeatherGirl‘s life settled down a tad and she had a fun flurry of posting last week in my absence. Her “Madness in the mid-west” post is particularly recommended both for her comments on the whole “Cootie shots” silliness and her archiving of the substantial number of excellent letters sent to the local paper on the issue. There’s some great stuff there, and gives one reasons for optimism in the fight against ill-informed bigotry. (I also recommend PZ’s comments here and there.)

Finally, I should also point out that it snowed here on both the 1st and 2nd of May. There are days when I truly wonder why human beings actual establishment settlements this far north.

Bernice Johnson Reagon will be on our radio show Sunday!!!

Voices Of The Civil Rights Movement: Black American Freedom Songs 1960-1966I just heard that Bernice Johnson Reagon (see my earlier piece on her talk Tuesday) will be visiting our humble KUMM radio show (“Unhindered by Talent“) this Sunday from 2-4pm as part of her time here as our first Distinguished Visiting Professor.

Wow, I’m so totally nervous and intimidated. But it’ll be really cool.

What should we play? What should we talk about? I’ve got to talk to WeatherGirl and Sub-Evil Boy about this ASAP!

If you’re within 30 feet of campus you can listen on-air at 89.7FM. For those of you out in the distant lands you can listen on-line at kumm.org. Feel free to send us questions via e-mail (“request” at kumm.org) or IM (“kummdj” on AIM) during the show and we’ll pass them along. Thanks!
