The Winter Project
with KRCU General Manager Dan Woods
Winter projects. We all have them. They are those things inside the house that we need to attend to but when it’s nice outside, it’s hard to focus on that inside “to-do” list.
After winter sets in, we’re cooped up inside and it’s the perfect time to work on those winter projects. That’s what we’re doing here at KRCU. We’re going through the collection of LPs and CDs that have managed to find a home here at the radio station over the years.
There are a LOT of LPs and CDs and the collection is very eclectic. There’s folk music, rock, country, Irish ballads, classical, spoken word, jazz and much more.
Join us Wednesday nights at 7:00 p.m. beginning in January for KRCU’s Winter Project.
