This week, Valley Free Radio is doing a donation drive to celebrate 18 years of providing diverse, community run radio.
If you need encouragement to donate, I recommend you listen to tonight's precorded episode of Planet Emo happening RIGHT NOW (10pm EST Monday), a show about emo and emo-adjacent music run by @planetemo, for its host donation pitch and some great music. You can listen to it here, on apps like tunein, or, if you can't listen to it live, you can check out two weeks of archived music here.
If emo music isn't your thing, check out their other shows, which range from more talk radio covering things from news, cultural topics, or politics OR more music, including some of my other favorite shows like I Heart Jrock. Explore their archived episodes in your spare time this week and consider a DONATION!
Valley Free Radio is volunteer run and each show is run by locals who just want so spread joy and deep dive into a topic or genre of their choice! A very noble pursuit deserving of a couple bucks!
And if after all this, you're not sold on donating to this particular local radio, consider donating to your OWN local radio or arts programs!
