WoodSongs Old-Time Radio Hour
Saturday 7-8pm, Sunday 6-7pm
About the program: Folksinger and Michael Johnathon started the Americana format “WoodSongs Old-Time Radio Hour” in 2001, in a tiny studio that barely seated 12 people airing on just one college radio station. “WoodSongs” is truly unique in the world of musical radio and television programs, as it is produced entirely by volunteers.
