So, one of the things I love about listening to #CommunityRadio is the randomness of the music selections. I hear new-to-me music (sometimes in genres that I don't usually listen to) as well as "golden oldies" from my early childhood.

Streaming services either throw stuff at you (based on algorithms) or can keep one stuck listening to the same music over and over (which can be good for "comfort listening" and recalling memories, but not for sparking new pathways).

A single song can go a long way in helping you focus, recall memories and develop new neural connections in your brain

The project is building a global archive of campus, community, and amateur radio materials, and inviting stations to contribute their history.

#WabanakiWindows on #WMPG!

March 24, 2026: "This show features Evan Richert and Roger Milliken Jr., two longtime leaders in land use, planning, and conservation in Maine.

"They took a close look at the Maine Indian Claims Settlement Act to answer a key question: who is right—the State or the #WabanakiNations?

"Their conclusion is clear—the Wabanaki Nations’ interpretation is correct, and the State’s position deserves closer scrutiny.

"We’ll talk about what they found, why Maine stands apart on Tribal sovereignty, and what it means for the future of justice in our state."

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."
