Listen to the KUNM Global Music show from Monday, 8/3/15 on the Two Week Archive!

Moving to Albuquerque 10 years ago, I never dreamed that somehow I'd end up on radio. Yet I have, and I'm having a blast exploring different music and playing it for an audience (even though it's so late the audience probably numbers in the tens). I would invite you to listen to our global show from last night if you missed it, hosted by me and with music contributions from Megan Kamerick. Just go to http://www.kunm.org/two-week-archive and put in August 3 at 10 pm to start the player.
