Alternative Milestones Episode 52 – That’s a Wrap on Year 1!

Thu, Jan 23, 2025

It’s show 52!  The final show of my first year here at WRIR!  Hard to believe, but I’ve loved every minute of bringing these shows to you all.

As for this week’s show, it’s got a bit of everything.  Birthdays, album and single release anniversaries, an In Memoriam track from School of Fish, and a fun historical event anniversary.

I hope to see you at 1PM!
