The AM: June 8, 2026

The sun is shining—for the moment at least—and The AM is here to give a chance to bask in the glow for a few hours. A throwback to Jerry Paper's philosophically dense oddball pop, new music from AM favourites like Tara Clerkin Trio, Bernardino Femminielli, and Memorials, and other offbeat easy listening to start your week off right. Enjoy the sunshine before the clouds settle in for the rest of the week, and thanks for listening.
