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."

One of the many gems on #WMPG is #InterzoneRadio!
"A scant half-hour of outspoken spoken word and thrilling sound design, fiction/non-fiction, vintage/brand-new, voiced by a cast of thousands.
We interview everyone from international rock stars and producers to leading tech geeks; interpret political and cultural content from Wonkette.com; original comedy, satire and parody; improv; vintage sci-fi and contemporary speculative fiction. Space, time, questions, conversations, comedy…weird."

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."

Only Two Republicans Voted Against #Trump Defunding #SesameStreet
Senate #Republicans just took a wrecking ball to #PublicBroadcasting.
Malcolm Ferguson
July 17, 2025"Only two Republican senators broke the line to vote against their party’s plan to defund the #CorporationForPublicBroadcasting.
"#Alaska’s #LisaMurkowski and #Maine’s #SusanCollins joined Senate Democrats in opposition to Republican cuts to organizations like PBS and NPR, and the smaller stations that they fund. While PBS and NPR would still continue at the national level, the cuts would likely devastate those local stations that rely on them.
"The Senate approved $9 billion dollars of cuts early Thursday morning, with $1.1 billion in cuts to public broadcasting and $8.8 billion from foreign aid programs like #USAID, which #ElonMusk’s #DOGE slashed earlier this year.
" 'The vast majority of this funding, more than 70 percent, actually flows to local television and radio stations,' Collins said last month during an earlier stage of the deliberation. 'In #Maine, this funding supports everything from #EmergencyCommunications in rural areas to coverage of high school basketball championships and [a] locally produced high school quiz show. Nationally produced television programs such as #AntiquesRoadshow, #DanielTigersNeighborhood, are also enjoyed by many throughout our country.'
" 'I understand … the concern about subsidizing the national radio news programming that for years has had a discernibly partisan bent,' she added.
'There are, however, more targeted approaches to addressing that bias at NPR than rescinding all of the funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.' She backed up that thinking with her vote on Thursday morning, along with Murkowski."#CPB #CommunityRadio #PublicTelevision #GOPHatesSesameStreet #TrumpHatesSesameStreet #GOPAreHaters #Fascism #Corporatocracy #FuckTheGOP #CommunityRadio

So, #WMPG seems to have resolved its website issues (a CAPTCHA trojan), so I feel good about sharing their links again.
This is the show where I heard a lot of revolutionary punk rock (as well as #MoonWalker). This was NOT the usual Blues show that usually is scheduled for that time slot!
