Our May episode was recorded LIVE at the Brown County Inn! This two-hour episode includes some favorite guests from our last 15 years and was the final event in the WFHB Spring Fund Drive. We are proud to report that we raised $3250 for the station, blowing our $2000 goal away. This is only possible with the support of our community and listeners like you, so THANK YOU from our entire team for keeping public radio alive and on the airwaves!
