Independence Day!
Tonight on Handful of Brains (7 – 9 PM Tuesday), we’ll celebrate Independence Day with songs that kinda sorta have to do with the holiday. We’ll also learn American history the way kids in the 70s learned it on Saturday mornings while eating a bowlful of sugary cereal.
Tune your FM receiver to frequency 97.3 or listen on the World Wide Web at wrir.org.
You can listen to the last two months of shows anytime you want at https://www.wrir.org/show/handful-of-brains/
