Airing Live on WFDU-FM on Sunday September 9, 2018 and rebroadcast at www.bluesandrootsradio.com on Saturday September 15, 2018 at 6:30pm ET and Tuesday September 18, 2018 at 10pm ET

My guests this week were Freebo and Alice Howe. The two are about to embark on a European tour and just finished a show and series of concerts with Kirsten Maxwell. Freebo also produced Kirsten’s soon-to-be-released CD and performed some of the songs from the recording live in our studio. We also had an engaging conversation about the folk community and the creative process.
