Fool's Last Beg
"On April 1, WMPG’s local music show Local Motives takes over the Portland Media Center for a high-energy, one-night-only celebration: Fool’s Last Beg – the grand finale of Begathon.
"Hosted at the #PortlandMediaCenter on Congress Street, the event brings together live radio, music, and a bit of April Fool’s mischief to mark the final push of WMPG’s week-long listener-powered #fundraising drive.
"The evening will be emceed by Erin Ames of Radio Ya-Ya’s and feature a special live broadcast of Local Motives, WMPG’s beloved showcase of local music. The show will feature a set by Crazy Déjà Vu, known to bring “The New Freakout” vibe that will energize both the studio audience and listeners/viewers tuning in from home.
"Among the highlights of the night is 'Shaxx in the Glass.' #LeftOfTheDial host, DJ Shaxx will spin live from the Portland Media Center’s street-facing window, turning Congress Street into a spontaneous dance floor. Fans can also catch his famously unpredictable Karaoke Weather Report, broadcast live over WMPG’s airwaves.
"Flyer for Fools Last Beg Event“It’s exactly the kind of creative collaboration community media makes possible,” said Nate Eldridge, Executive Director of Portland Media Center. 'When local radio and local television come together, you get something spontaneous, joyful, and uniquely Portland. We’re thrilled to open our studio and our windows to the community for this celebration.'
"After a full week of on-air fundraising, Fool’s Last Beg marks the final opportunity for supporters to join the celebration in person and help push Begathon across the finish line
" 'Begathon is when our listeners remind us just how much WMPG means to them,' said #AnnellaLinton, Development Director at WMPG [and a very cool person!]. 'Fool’s Last Beg is our way of celebrating that relationship, with live music, a little silliness, and the incredible energy that comes from a community that believes in independent, local radio.'
"Come down, celebrate, dance in the street, and help keep Portland’s airwaves vibrant and fiercely local. Dress up (fun and colorful) and be in the live music video shoot for Crazy Déjà Vu."

Tomorrow is the last day of #WMPG's Fall #Begathon! Support #CommunityRadio! Where you'll hear #DemocracyNow, #CommunityVoicesForChange, #LeftOfTheDial (with my buddy #DJShaxx -- a blend of resistance commentary and great music), #InterculturalInsights, #TheWeavers, #ReturningTheLand (with Dr. #DavidLowry), #AlternativeRoute (with #DJHope) and so much more!
Begathon – we are at $42,000 as of Tuesday eve
"Begathon is here! From October 23rd–29th, WMPG will celebrate a week of fun, music, and community as we raise $50,000 to keep your favorite community and college radio station thriving.
We live in a time when so much of what we hear is driven by algorithms and automation but WMPG is proudly human. Every show on our airwaves is created by volunteers who share their own voices, stories, and music choices, not for faceless crowds, but for real people who listen and care. That connection builds trust and belonging, both on and off the air. You can hear it in the conversations, the friendships, and the community that grows around this station. When you give to WMPG, you’re helping keep that human connection strong, keeping real voices and local stories on the air."
