Did you know that the advent of the transistor radio back in the '50s is responsible for the popularization of Rock and Roll itself? Suddenly, portable radios were available to teenagers in North America, Europe and other parts of the world, who by then had enough disposable income to afford the devices. Things have evolved dramatically since then and today we have so many options for listening to the wide array of musical genres that beg for our attention. This is where college/community radio plays an important niche role. These grass-roots, volunteer-based stations, expose listening audiences to the DIY scene and targeted content.
Clearly, you already appreciate the value of CHUO if you are reading this. But CHUO cannot provide quality content without some form of financial funding. So yep - this is the time of year when I come knocking on your virtual door or ear drums and ask you to drop a few coins in our hats. Hop The Fence will be celebrating 10 years on air in a few months. 10 years! That's 520 Fridays of programming! Just for you - For your listening pleasure! Please help keep independent music and radio alive and well by making a pledge!
Speaking of transistor radios, this week's special guest has a deep appreciation for what the magical device has bestowed upon our modern world. With his latest disc entitled 6 Volts (the size of battery required to power portable radios of days gone by), Fred Eaglesmith blends country, blues, folk and rock and roll. Tune in at 5 pm to hear all about this exceptional Canadian storytelling troubadour. He will be appearing at the Blacksheep Inn on Saturday.
