Re: It's a huge change
Date: 2024-05-13 03:27 am (UTC)Kalihweyo’se, as translated on-air by the host, is Good Messages Radio. It's specifically out of WPNE in Green Bay, and airs all sorts of indigenous music, traditional and otherwise. Picture a nerdy long-haired white girl in her early teens staying up late on Thursday nights, annoying/exasperating her family (who knew she'd be a zombie the next day at school), making recordings off the radio and later playing them back so many times it's a wonder the cassettes didn't wear out.
Re public radio and classical music: I love WPR, and always will, but the emphasis on European classical music is... puzzling at best, to me. Call me cynical, but is that all about financial supporters having an affinity for the genre? I hope not. Mind you, I'm the girl who's raised the question of expanded language offerings at previous WPR forums; it's probably not that surprising I'd be down for broadening people's classical horizons too.
