Don’t miss Clean Yr Room this Monday night!


cleanyrroom

The WPRB Membership Drive is still going great guns. My show on last Wednesday was a huge success thanks to your assistance, raising lots of money for the station’s operating costs.

If you missed out on pledging and want to become a member and support the station, visit http://pledge.wprb.com.

This Monday night from 7:00 pm ET – 10:00 pm ET I’ll be in the WPRB studios joining Art Andrews and Julia Factorial on the Membership Drive edition of Clean Yr Room, my favorite show.

There are also two special live guests, debuting exclusive sessions recorded just for the Membership Drive:

Matador recording artist Kurt Vile and all the way from Oregon, Pierced Arrows (ex-Dead Moon).

This is going to rule! Don’t miss it.

Yrs,

Jon
