ANON- Michael Moore Knows Like I Know:
http://wesflexner.com/2021/09/10/bsa-hip-hop-9-9-2021/

BSA Rap layered Michael Moore's discussion of our United States of America as a "left-wing" country over Cam'Ron's instrumental

Voting Agrees
Although I'm optimistic, our country appears as if it's in complete discombobulation:
1-06-2021, voter suppression, vaccine reluctance amidst a surge in covid
A reminder to our leaders
Ideals of our Country:
Freedom, liberty, justice, equality and opportunity
The only correct response to a social revolution is an improved environment
If things genuinely occur then a better country will result from putting a plan into effect
Improved is an option

I attended a virtual conference as a representive of this radio station with community radio producers from around the country..

Jeff Chang who wrote CAN’T STOP WON’T STOP was discussing the 2021 edition of his 2005 CAN'T STOP WON'T STOP book.

Can't Stop Won't Stop contextualizes Rap's Legacy with the recent Social Revolution after the George Floyd Murder in the 2021 Young Adult release.

Can't Stop Won't Stop is rereleasing March 16th, 2021.

WCRS and the city of Columbus recently lost a brilliant member of our musicial community, Tony "Doctah X" Harrington. We are going to be paying tribute to his memory this weekend by airing a marathon of his show Prescriptions from Friday at 9PM on January 1st 2021 until 12PM Noon January 2nd 2021. If you would like to share a recording of your memories of Doctah X for us to broadcast e-mail them to localshows AT wcrsfm.org and we will try to include it in our broadcast.

North American Community and College Radio Chart wanted a year-end thing for their website:

“Bands couldn’t play shows. Social revolution appeared in the midst of a plague. Community radio seemed to find its return in 2020 after blogs had diminished radio was relevant for music media because of the necessity of experiential communication.” - Wes Flexner

The Dispatch ran an article on us in both the Dispatch itself and in ThisWeek. We bought some FaceBook adverts and over 30,000 folks saw the post and about 10% read the article itself. WCRS ended up with 1000 more likes on our FaceBook page!

The NACC has an excellent interview with local DJ Wes Flexner on his radio show and other things about him. He was also named Genre DJ of the month. Check out the interview here on their website.

In the wake of COVID-19, non-profits have been severely impacted. Art galleries and museums have closed. Symphonies, theatre and dance troupes have canceled Spring and Summer performances. Gala fundraisers have been canceled, left and right.

Giving Tuesday Now (from the brainchild of the online day of Giving during the Holiday Season) joined forces on May 5, 2020 for individuals to donate to non-profits, including WCRS. WCRS is an all-volunteer operated station run entirely by volunteers, who while social distancing, are running the station away from the Free Press Carriage House. Community Radio costs money. From licensing fees to maintenance on our antennas, it is not cheap to bring you community radio from the grassroots.

For more information on donating to WCRS, go to http://www.wcrsfm.org/donate. Any bit helps.
