Alternative Milestones presents:

Alternative Milestones Episode 13 – And Now for Something Completely Different

 

It’s fundraiser week at WRIR 97.3FM Richmond Community Radio, and rather than just doing the usual Alternative Milestones thing I’d like to donate this week’s show to the supporters of WRIR. So here’s what I wanna do. For anyone who makes a donation to the station (at https://www.wrir.org/donate/) OF ANY AMOUNT during my show this Thursday from 1-3 PM, if you then either call me in the studio at (804) 649-9737 or hit me up on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/DrJayOnTheRadio/) – you can request a song. Any song. If I can find it, and it’s suitable for the air, I’ll play it ASAP.
But let’s make this fun. Since this fundraiser week is about giving to support #independentradio here in Richmond, how about we try to come up with songs about radio, or giving, or independence. And I’d love to hear what makes WRIR special to you.
It doesn’t have to be an alternative song, although that’s kinda my wheelhouse. But this is like the Godfather at his daughter’s wedding. I’ll refuse no request if it’s something I can give.
I hope you tune in, and donate, and call in a request this Thursday!
