Good evening, it's Thursday, October 20th. This is the Jive at Five, our daily community
calendar and rundown of nighttime programming here on 88.1 FM WESU Middletown.
By day, WESU offers talk radio from NPR and Pacifica, as well as independent
and local public affairs sources. Weeknights and weekends our student and
community volunteers bring you the best in free-form programming.
I’m Lara Hetzle, WESU Production Director. Thanks so much for joining us!
WESU is listener supported community radio and we need your help to get our Fall community pledge drive going. While most of our broadcasters are volunteers, it still takes money to keep the station up and running. Whether you tune in to WESU for daytime talk or free form music programming, or perhaps the Jive at Five, don’t expect someone else to make a donation on behalf of your listening. Show your support for WESU and help us pay the bills with a donation, today. You can make that donation online at www.wesufm.org/pledge where you can also see our thank you gifts. Thanks!
Now, here's a rundown of what's happening in our area this week:
Tonight (Thursday) Grammy Award-winning banjo and vocal duo Béla Fleck and Abigail Washburn perform Appalachian folk music, blues, and more tonight in Wesleyans Center For The Arts Details at www.wesleyan.edu/cfa
